Born in 1962, he
studied composition with Klaus Huber, Emanuel Nunes and Mathias
Spahlinger, and musical theory with Peter Förtig. He also
attended conducting courses with Peter Eötvös. He awarded
many prizes in composition competitions and he is laureate of the
Foundation Strobel at the SWR, of the Gaudeamus Foundation and the
Kunststiftung Baden-Württemberg.
In 1995 he was awarded the Comité de lecture of the Ensemble
Intercontemporain and in 1997 he composed "Rondo" for violin and
chamber orchestra for this ensemble.
His chamber opera "les petites filles modèles" was played many
times in Paris and France and had in 1997 its premiere at the Opera
de Bastille.
Besides his own compositions Johannes Schöllhorn is also working
on different kinds of transcriptions, i.e. he has made an own version
of Pierre Boulez' "...explosante-fixe...".
Johannes Schöllhorn was teaching from 1995 to 2000 at the
Musikhochschule Zürich-Winterthur (CH). He was conductor of the
Ensemble für Neue Musik at the Musikhochschule Freiburg (until
2004) and since 2001 he is Professor for composition at the
Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hannover.
Johannes Schöllhorn gave several composition courses at the
Fondation Royaumont (F), in the Ictus-Seminar (B), at the
Irino-Foundation (Japan), at the Bartók-Festival (HU) at the
Conservatory of Music in Tianjin and the Central Conservatory of
Music in Beijing (China).

Anamorphoses
"Anamorphose" bedeutet Gestaltwandlung, Verzerrung.
Es ist ein Begriff, der in der
Mein

Manierismus des 16. Jahrhunderts angewandt
contrapunctus (6, 1 und 9) aus der “Kunst der Fuge"
von J.S.Bach, wobei die Bearbeitung

Schöllhorn
« Des
sensations fortes nous parcourent également lors du concert
des Percussions de Strasbourg. [...] En abondance à
l'écoute de Red and Blue de l'Allemand Schöllhorn
(né an1962), issu de mutations hystériques et
séraphiques graduées. »
Pierre Gervasoni, Le
Monde
“Schöllhorn
webt in Senza Parole für 32-stimmigen Chor das
Stimmengeflecht so raffiniert, dass weder der Eindruck eines
chorischen Unisono noch von solistischen Parallelaktionen entsteht:
wahrhaft ein Chor-Orchester."
Gerhard Rohde, Neue Musik

Ictus presents
sparkling cocktail
One of
the most agreeable aspects of contemporary music is the variety of
what is written. This makes it possible to combine pieces that are in
themselves very different but which together yield an interesting and
colourful mix, as in this delightful concert by Ictus.
One can of course find points of contact between these works: the
absurd touch in the pieces by Unsuk Chin and Johannes Schöllhorn, the sound exploration by
György Ligeti and Jonathan Harvey, and of course the fact that
the oldest composer in the programme (Ligeti) was the teacher of the
youngest (Chin). But each of the works chosen had its own identity
and character and set personal accents, and this gave the concert an
added value on top of the exemplary performance by Ictus.
[...]
Johannes
Schöllhorn's Anamorphoses was a very witty work, containing a
Bach parody in which the Kunst der Fuge was replaced by Francis
Ponge's absurd text L'art de la figue. The nice thing is that this piece
has no pretensions whatever, but is very well made and, what is more,
has a cheerful iconoclastic feel. [...]
