The sheet music for Nico Muhly's Doublespeak arranged for Chamber Ensemble and composed for the orchestral sextet 'eighth blackbird'. The piece is arranged for Flute (Soprano Recorder) Clarinet in B flat Percussion (Castanets Tenor Drum Pedal Bass Drum) Glockenspiel Piano Violin and Cello. It works for 2-6 players and this item includes the full score as well as the parts. Doublespeak had its debut at the Edlis Neeson Theatre in Chicago performed by the new musical six-piece 'eighth blackbird'. The piece is a slow and repetitive one punctuated bymoments of stark beauty. It is according to Muhly something of a tribute to the great Philip Glass the forefather of minimalist classical music. It takes implicit inspiration from his entire oeuvre but also explicitly incorporates portions of his most famous and valued works interweaving them inside a new composition that captures what 'eighth blackbird' do best.  The Doublespeak sheet music would be ideal for Chamber Ensembles looking to perform or practise minimalist music drawn from the 1960s and 1970s. If you love Philip Glass or Nico Muhly or both this composition is a real treat.

Ladder to the Moon a été inspiré par les paysages urbains de l'artiste américain Georgia O'Keeffe, qui a vécu et peint à Manhattan avant de déménager au Nouveau-Mexique en 1934. De 1925 à 1930, O'Keeffe créé plus de vingt peintures de gratte-ciel nouvellement construits à New York, tels que la construction de radiateur et de l'Hôtel Shelton. Comme les photographes expérimentale de l'époque, O'Keeffe a découvert une réalité différente dans la forme de gratte-ciel, à la fois réaliste et abstraite. Ladder to the Moon est un hommage musical à l'art de la O'Keeffe, en recréant la sensation de gratte-ciel et des paysages urbains de 1930 à Manhattan. Commandée par la Chamber Music Society du Lincoln Center. Durée: environ 20 minutes. / Violon Solo, Octuor À Vent, Contrebasse Et Percussion / 76 pages / Partition
