FILM
Ghosts Before Breakfast
Piano Four-Hands
Score by Dag Gabrielsen
Film by Hans Richter (1927)
PROGRAM NOTE
By the early 1920s the clock was running out for the Weimar Republic in post WWI Germany with over 300 assassinations by right-wing extremists, including the shooting of the Foreign Minister, Walther Rathenau. In 1927 Adolf Hitler staged the largest Nazi rally to date at Nuremberg. That same year the German artist Hans Richter made the dada film Ghosts Before Breakfast, with appearances by the composers Paul Hindemith and Darius Milhaud. The Nazis condemned the film as degenerate art and managed to destroy the original score by Hindemith, but copies of the film print survived. In this new score created for XX Digitus Duo, composer Dag Gabrielsen used fragments of music by both Hindemith and Milhaud in conjunction with the German national anthem, Deutschland über alles.
Premiere performance by XX Digitus Duo, November 3, 2016
