Zbigniew Penherski
*1935
Born in 1935 in Warsaw. His composition studies took place under B. Poradowski at the PWSM in Poznań (1955-1956), and then in PWSM in Warsaw (1956-59) with Tadeusz Szeligowski. With a Dutch Government Scholarship he studied at the Institute of Sonology in Utrecht (1969). He was a laureat of the following composition competitions: PCU Youth Competition (1960) for Ostinata, the G. Fitelberg and A. Malawski competitions for Musica humana (1964) and Kroniki mazurskie (1976), the Gdańsk composition competition (1992) for Cantus, the Polish Radio Competition for a radio piece (1995) for Genesis. He is an Honorary citizen of the city of Kragujevac in Yugoslavia, Russe in Bulgaria and Ho-Chi-Minh City in Vietnam. He was awarded the Silver Cross of Merit (1975) and Prime Minister’s Award for his work for children and youth (1982). He is an Honorary Member of the Scottish Society of Composers (1987). His music has been performed at home and abroad, including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Holland, Korea, Mexico, Germany, Sweden, USA, UK, Italy, the Soviet Union.
The bulk of the composer’s output rests on orchestral works, chamber music, radio music and opera. His most important compositions include Musica humana (1963), Muzyka uliczna (1966), Opera: Zmierzch Peryna (1972) and Edgar - syn Wałpora (1982), Kroniki mazurskie II for symphony orchestra and tape (1973), String Play for string orchestra (1980), Kroniki szkockie for symphony orchestra (1987), Muzyczka na koniec wieku for two recorders, two percussionists, organ and tape (1999), Mała litania smyczkowa for string orchestra (2002), Małe kroniki smyczkowe for string orchestra (2005).
Penherski’s music does not to impress through size, pathos, or the awakening of maximum emotion. The composer does not search for big themes, nor is his work rich in a variety of extra-musical references – calling up national or universal values. He gives himself a simpler task. Above all else, he wants to arouse the listener’s curiosity through purely musical means, with original ways of organizing sound, and forms of material suggesting a story. He presents the world as seen through the eyes of an uncompromising artist who carefully examines the means he uses, who measures and evaluates in order to remain consistent with his own vision of the mystery of existence and art.
