Abstract
The Russian composer Sofia Gubaidulina (b.1931) began to receive acclaim in the West during the late 1980s. Since moving to live in Hamburg, Germany, in 1992, she has received commissions from a number of leading international orchestras and other organizations. The composer’s self-confessed preoccupation with symbolic themes of a religious or mystical nature, particularly evident in her typically-religious titles, has resulted in a bibliography centered around programmatic concerns, aimed at exposing in her music symbols of her diverse national and religious heritage. This document addresses the symbolic generative force underlying Gubaidulina’s music, and its relation to elements of formal organization, melodic structure, thematic content, rhythm, phraseology, and timbre. To this end it concentrates on two pieces in detail:
In Croce
, for cello and organ (1976) and
Garten von Freuden und Traurigkeiten
, for flute, viola and harp (1980).
