Music Moves Me

Radiant Music was written for flautist Alice K. Dade at her request for a short recital piece. The CD part is made up of several episodes of shimmering music for flutes dulcimers organs and sampled baroque strings trumpet and choir. This piece attempts to obsess over a repeated sequence of chords – this progression appears in the opening bars of the piece. This sequence reappears in each episode as a harmonic goal for the flute whose part circumnavigates it but never hits it exactly. Also at play in Radiant Music is a notion of fast music that moves slowly versus slow music that moves quickly. This is most evident in the Throbbing musicwhich is very fast but has an immensely slow harmonic motion and in the conclusion which is made of one chord reworked over a long stretch of time. Radiant Music is dedicated to Alice K. Dade with thanks to Alex Sopp who edited the part in 2007. Download the pre-recorded element  HERE .

This beautiful poem of love begins with 7 words from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and then moves to Colonel Heveningham's original words. As the colorful imagery of the text unfolds the music reflects the textual meaning. The music touches on several tonal centers and closes with a recap of the opening section with the final measures repeating the most poignant words of the poem - Sing on.

SATB a cappella-Inspired by Grace Noll Crowell's lovely poem this setting has immediate appeal to both school and church use. The music moves beautifully with the words making the composer's marking with awe and wonder come true.

The work was composed in 1992 for the 85th birthday of Kurtág's teacher, Sándor Veress. The ensemble of instruments is unusual: two basset horns and two quarter-tone pianos (the well-known predecessor of the latter is Charles Ives' Three Quarter-Tone Pieces for two pianos). The special tuning in this case is not that the tonality moves in an ultra-chromatic direction, rather that it makes the contours more nebulous, somewhat incomprehensible and dreamlike, and especially that the two wind instruments align themselves with the normal pitch of the piano. In many respects the musical material links with Kurtág's other compositions, for example the familiar movements of the Games series, the colinda reflections and the second piece of Three Old Inscriptions (op. 25). The broad spanning and profusely ornamented cantilena of the two basset horns reflects the inspiration of folk music. / Soprano Et Contrebasse

Full Score for Orchestra of George Benjamin's stunning Ringed By The Flat Horizon. 'This work contains some of the most startlingly precise storm music ever written - it seems less evocation than the sound of the thing itself. But there is more to it than that: Eliot's lines suggested form for the music and the piece is music and not just illustration. It moves through an original and convincing musical logic which is realized through a masterly control of varied sonorities'.Richard Dyer. Boston Globe September 1987
