Promoted by Miso Music Portugal, the Música Viva Festival – accomplishing 15 years in 2009 - is one of the major initiatives developed by the association, among its broad range of activities.
Celebrating 15 years of existence in favour of contemporary musical creation, paying particular attention to Portuguese music and its relations with technology (i.e., mixed music, electronic music, music with image, staged music), is certainly a good age to review the role this Festival has been playing regarding music and its creators, and those who enjoy it: the audience.
Year after year, the festival is becoming a privileged space in what concerns to reflection and aesthetic and philosophical confrontation. Year after year, the festival makes history, redefines tradition, questions the present and speculates on future. In each edition, new creators stand out, new contexts arise, in a metamorphosis suitable to artistic creation promoted by the festival.
In 2009 the highlights of the Festival’s programming are the (i) Retrospective-Prospective Cândido Lima, celebrating the 70 years of this Portuguese music figure; (ii) the questioning on the eroticism in music, giving place to the premiere of the performance Ficções Sonoras Eróticas (Erotic Sound Fictions); (iii) several Portuguese composers’ premieres, including the work commissioned by the CCB to Miguel Azguime for a chamber ensemble, electronics and narrator from Perrault’s text The Master Cat or the Puss in Boots; (iv) the Music Video and Cinema of Sounds concerts; sound installations and conferences, and a huge participation of electroacoustic creations for the Caminho Pedonal (Foot Path) coming from all around the world, integrated in the SoundWall project.

GULBENKIAN ORCHESTRA
In this opening concert, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation associates again to Música Viva Festival in a musical journey that puts into perspective the music history of the past 60 years, covering a few stages in what concerns to the concept’s evolution.
This approach focuses on the one hand in the American composers Earle Brown and Morton Feldman and in the tribute Franco Donatoni paid to Earle Brown; three authors and three works composed between 1952 and 1980; and on the other hand on proposals focusing on the Portuguese territory, illustrated by three generations of composers who also represent three different ways to understand the degree of indetermination in musical composition: Cândido Lima, Christopher Bochmann and Hugo Ribeiro (we will listen to the absolute premiere of the piece Inventio).
The questioning of the “open work” often implies the composition of a new score, adding the dimensions that remain undetermined or exchangeable, in short, some of the decisions which the composer leaves to the artist, in this case, Pedro Amaral who assumes the direction of this unique concert and performs Brown and Donatoni’s works. In addition, and together with Cândido Lima, they reviewed and re-composed A-MÈR-ES, a commission by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation originally premiered in 1979, a Cândido Lima’s major work which led both to admiration and rejection. 30 years later, it is time to listen to it again.

Radio Fragments
Radio Fragments is a project of radio sound involvement by André Castro, who aims to unlock spaces for another type of auditory attention, different from that usually associated to the radio listening. A radio broadcast is listened and analysed in real time, in search of what one tries normally to avoid in the radio context: breaks, hesitation, sneezes, noises, dead spaces, mistakes. These fragments of hertzian data are reduced into several layers of processing, giving rise to the Radio Fragments’ sound tissue, seeking to create spaces between words and music, spaces between themselves, breathing spaces. A space where the audience may tune, listen, observe and breathe.
In(g) sonic Mov28
In(g) Sonic Mov28, the beauty and pleasure of 28, promises to convey the CCB from Prazeres to Graça.
The emblematic Lisbon tram will echo.
The aural heritage of this public transportation will be the raw stone which will give rise to an acoustic sculpture in four audio channels.

VÍDEO MÚSICA: "VISAGE PRESQUE BLEU"
Visage Presque Bleu is the title of the first out of three Vídeo Música concerts, dedicated to the relation between music and image. On the one hand we will listen to the emblematic work by Luciano Berio Visage, which falls on one of this year's Festival thematic due to its vocal language feature, original and emotional: music and eroticism; moreover, Presque Bleu by Horacio Vaggione discloses the composer’s compositional, sound and visual development, in a work of identity integration of the two approaches, which speculates on their varying degrees of correspondence and synchronization, in a research path of what can be understood by sound visualisation.

"CÂNDIDO LIMA: MÚSICA ELECTRÓNICA E IMAGENS"
Cândido Lima: electronic music and images
“Apart from Bleu-Rouge, this concert’s works mark a personal rediscovery of new sounds, new technologies, and new languages. It is the new meeting, in another universe, of the languages learned in the European tradition of harmony and counterpoint, in the systems and forms of Western classical music.
Notions and concepts from the realms of philosophy and science find their place in these scores and in these electronic and digital media, where time, duration, rhythm, beat, movement, speed, energy, mass, density, continuum are just extensions from what we are used to find in the “classics”, with their own angles and perspective, but also with other principles of organization. Extensions of a linear and two-dimensional thought, of a intuitive rational sound thought, either as an element of hierarchies of the space (height system) and time (principles of the time shape and structure), are generated here and controlled new sources of sound and new ways of organizing it, handling not only as a symbol, but also as a tactile substance, with physical properties of topological change. It is the sound as a model, it is the sound ”itself “from the philosophers (and from the listener), it is the sound generator of sonorous macro forms absorbing the individual sound in global sets of soundscapes, a large projection huge architectures in the space.
But, above all, the musician criterion always prevailed, without this it would be but sterile speculation without consequences. Although another song…” Cândido Lima

ORQUESTRA METROPOLITANA DE LISBOA (LISBON METROPOLITAN ORCHESTRA)
In this closing concert, the Lisbon Metropolitan Orchestra collaborates for the second time in a row with the Música Viva Festival, confronting two authors, antagonistic to some extent, but also complementary: Claude Debussy’s Danses Sacrée et Profane and Arnold Schoenberg’s Kammersymphonie no. 2 op. 38, two composers who still influence the current musical language. They are the pretext to think on the paths of musical creation of our time. And because this festival is dedicated to the Portuguese contemporary musical creation, three works by Portuguese composers for chamber orchestra will be featured, two world premieres by Tiago Cutileiro, Para 20 instrumentos, and by José Julio Lopes, X-Acto, in which participates the actress São José Lapa.
