The Electronic Music of Roberto Gerhard

罗伯特·格哈德的电子音乐是一种未被开发的资源，它不仅有可能改变我们对这位作曲家作品的评价，也有可能改变20世纪50年代以来英国电子音乐的发展。格哈德的工作还没有被记录下来，因为他缺乏机构的支持，访问他的档案很困难，而且这个档案没有编目。在剑桥大学图书馆的档案中，有大量未发表的电子作品，电子附带音乐，以及第一交响曲的草图和排练磁带。《3 （Collages）》是继瓦雷泽的《沙漠》之后，将管弦乐和电子乐器结合在一起的第一部重要作品。现在哈德斯菲尔德大学已经同意与CUL签订一份合同，对格哈德的电子音乐进行数字化和研究，这个研究项目旨在解决一些问题：格哈德的电子音乐对他后来的器乐音乐有什么意义？Gerhard对英国电子音乐的影响是什么？格哈德是如何生成和组织他的素材的？研究结果将成为PI和Michael Russ教授编辑的一本书的最后三章。其余章节是2010年5月在哈德斯菲尔德大学举行的第一届罗伯托·格哈德国际会议上发表的论文的扩展版本。PI和两位RAs还将编辑所有的电子音乐，并由sub rosa发行成CD。

The electronic music of Roberto Gerhard is an unexplored resource that has the potential to change not only our evaluation of this composer's work but also the development of electronic music in the UK from the 1950s onwards. Gerhard's work has as yet, not been documented due to his lack of institutional support, the difficulty in accessing his archive and the fact that this archive is not catalogued. In the archive at the Cambridge University Library are a large number of unpublished electronic works, electronic incidental music and sketches and rehearsal tapes for the Symphony no. 3 (Collages), one of the first major works following Varese's Desert to integrate orchestra and electronics. Now the University of Huddersfield has agreed a contract with the CUL to digitize and research the electronic music of Gerhard, this research project seeks to address a number of issues: what is the significance of Gerhard's electronic music on his own later instrumental music? what is Gerhard's influence on electronic music in the UK; how did Gerhard generate and structure his material? The research results will form the final three chapters of a book edited by the PI and Prof. Michael Russ. The remaining chapters are expanded versions of papers given at the 1st International Roberto Gerhard Conference which took place at the University of Huddersfield in May 2010. The PI and two RAs will also edit all of the electronic music for publication on CD by sub rosa.
