He is known for chamber music and for unusual scoring, such as ''Bright Angel'' for three bassoons and contrabassoon, ''Chieftain's Salute'' for Great Highland Bagpipe and string orchestra, and works for speaking voice and cello, such as ''Der Handschuh''. For his own instrument, he composed a cello concerto and ''Three Pieces for Solo Cello''. He wrote string quartets and compositions which juxtapose it with a solo instrument, including Piccolo Quintet, Bassoon Quintet and ''Rhapsodie Macabre'' == Career == Graham Waterhouse was born in London, the son of the noted bassoonist and musicologist William Waterhouse. He attended Highgate School and studied music at the University of Cambridge (composition with Hugh Wood and Robin Holloway), and in Germany at the Folkwang Hochschule (cello with Young-Chang Cho) and Hochschule für Musik Köln (cello, with Maria Kliegel, conducting and piano). He has lived in Munich since 1992. He has received commissions by the International Double Reed Society (IDRS), the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, Munich Biennale, Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional del Estado de Mexico, the Kaske Stiftung and the Park Lane Group (London), among others. His compositions have earned prizes at competitions of ''ドイツ語:Münchener Tonkünstlerverband'' (1996) and of ''Via Nova'' in Weimar (2000).〔 His string quartet ''Chinese Whispers'' was awarded the "BCMS Composition Prize" of the Birmingham Chamber Music Society in 2011. He has performed as the soloist of his Cello Concerto in Mexico City (1995), Nizhny Novgorod, Weimar, Baden-Baden, St. Martin, Idstein (version for chamber orchestra, 2005), and Cambridge (2008). In 2001 he was the composer in residence of ''ドイツ語:Solisten der Kammerphilharmonie Berlin'', in 2006 ''フランス語:artiste en residence'' in Albertville, France, and in 2008 ''Musician By-Fellow'' at Churchill College, University of Cambridge. He has worked with Ensemble Modern and participated in the concert tour 2001 of the Ensemble Modern Orchestra under Pierre Boulez.〔 He has also performed with the ensembles musikFabrik and Kammerensemble Neue Musik Berlin. As a composer and a performer, he is mostly dedicated to chamber music, and has co-founded several chamber ensembles, including the ''Vuillaume-Cello-Ensemble'' playing instruments built by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume. He established in 1998 a regular chamber music concert series at Gasteig Munich, programming contemporary works alongside classical repertory.〔 Players for his chamber music concerts have included members of the Munich Philharmonic, such as bassoonist Lyndon Watts. Waterhouse has collaborated with the composers Jens Josef (flute) and Rudi Spring (piano). They appeared together in a trio concert at the Gasteig, performing Martinů's trio, the premiere of the flute version of Gestural Variations, and a Christmas carol by each composer, ''ラテン語:In dulci jubilo'' set by Waterhouse.〔 The song ''ドイツ語:Im Gebirg'' (The Mountain) on a poem of Hans Krieger for mezzo-soprano, alto flute, cello and piano,〔 was premiered at the Gasteig in 2010 by Martina Koppelstetter, Jens Josef, the composer and Christopher White.〔 In a concert ''The Proud Bassoon'' in Wigmore Hall, celebrating his father on 16 April 2011, he performed as a cellist, and two works he had written in memory of his father, ''Epitaphium'' and ''Bright Angel'', received their premiere in the UK.〔〔 In a concert concluding the Gasteig's Liszt Festival to honour the 200th birthday of Franz Liszt, his chamber music scored for piano solo up to piano and string quartet appeared in the context of pieces in similar settings by Liszt.〔 In 2011, he composed a Christmas cantata on a text by Krieger.〔 In 2013 his piano trio ''Bells of Beyond'' was premiered at the Gasteig with Yury Revich and Valentina Babor.〔 ''Incantations'', a Concerto da camera for piano and ensemble, was premiered and recorded in Birmingham on 26 March 2015 at the CBSO Centre with Huw Watkins, piano, and the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, conducted by Richard Baker. The compositions reflect the individual capacity and character of players and instruments from piccolo to contrabassoon, even unusual ones such as the heckelphone or didgeridoo. He scored ''Chieftain's Salute'' for Great Highland Bagpipe and string orchestra, ''Hale Bopp'', inspired by comet Hale–Bopp, for string orchestra with boy soprano, and ''The Akond of Swat'' (after a nonsense-poem by Edward Lear) for a tenor bassoon made to order for the performer Richard Moore, bassoon, and piano.〔 He also wrote several compositions for cello and speaking voice, based on literature as diverse as limerick (''Vezza''), ballad (''ドイツ語:Der Handschuh'') and drama (''ドイツ語:Das Hexen-Einmaleins''), which he plays and recites himself. He has lectured on contemporary music at the yearly ''Komponisten-Colloquium'' of the University of Oldenburg, initiated by Violeta Dinescu.〔 Several of his pieces have been composed for the competition Jugend musiziert and performed at the prize winners' concerts. The first publisher of his works was the ドイツ語:Friedrich Hofmeister Musikverlag, beginning with ''Aztec Ceremonies'' and ''Three Pieces for Solo Cello'' in 1996. His music appeared also with Zimmermann and Robert Lienau in Frankfurt, ドイツ語:Heinrichshofen in Wilhelmshaven, and others. His music has been recorded, notably on ''Portrait'' (2001) with works for piano, clarinet and cello, and ''Portrait 2'' (2004) with music for string orchestra, played by the English Chamber Orchestra, and for wind ensemble, played by Endymion.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Graham Waterhouse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
