And it's Sunday Again

Although chaos and destruction often poison our view of this world, there is a hidden order to all things. Every person, being, or entity has its own idiosyncratic place in the universe. This is the message I take away from Jewish-Polish poet Yisroel Shtern’s 1934 poem "Every Sunbeam is a Compass Point," in which the last two verses say, “In a flooded field, in the ruined world / Here your place is – cherish it!” The word “tzirklshpitz,” which appears in the first line of the poem, is interpreted to mean “compass point,” though it literally translates to “tip of a circle,” a rather oxymoronic concept. This idea reminded me of the 1905 painting by Henri Matisse entitled "Le Bonheur de Vivre" (“the joy of life”), in which the human figures are static on the canvas yet, in the center of the painting, are frozen in a circular celebratory motion. "Tzirklshpitz", for orchestra, is my own musical synthesis of these two works.

YolanDa Brown joins film composer Howard Shore (down the line in New York), the LPO’s principal percussionist Andy Barclay and principal trumpet player Paul Beniston to find out how Howard approached writing the music for Lord of the Rings, and gets an insight into what it was like to play from Andy and Paul.  

Back in 2001, the LPO recorded the music for the first Lord of the Rings film: The Fellowship of the Ring. At that time, they didn’t know what a legendary recording it would become. 

From Howard’s late night writing sessions in hotel rooms in Watford, to his favoured techniques (manuscript paper and pencil), and ability to write perfectly for individual players in the LPO, this is an insight into his process and also the music of the LOTR Trilogy. 

Plus, Paul and Andy take us into the world of the recording studio, and discuss their favourite moments in the score. 

Produced by Tandem Productions for the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

He has written/arranged for eight-times Grammy nominee Bobby Sanabria, the National Radio Symphony Orchestra of Greece (ERT), and X-Factor (Greece) judge George Theofanous.
 
His latest symphonic work, Chiaroscuro, was recorded and broadcast by the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation, and his Afro-Cuban Jazz arrangement of Lalo Schifrin’s famous Mission Impossible Theme was performed at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola in New York (Jazz at the Lincoln Center). Aris’ Nostos for saxophone and piano, co-commissioned by the University of Sydney and the Australian ensemble HD Duo, was featured by the group in their 2018 World Tour. More recently, his Toccata & Fugue for organ was performed at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC.
 
Aside from concert works, Aris has written extensively for film and theater, having scored seven short-films, including the film Bizone whose soundtrack has been released on all major streaming platforms. His theater credits include collaborations with Broadway veterans, such as composer/pianist Andrew Gerle, and director Joe Locarro - Aris provided orchestrations for their show Tony Awards: The Early Years. Recently, Aris arranged and music directed a very successful run of the show The Impossible Dream in his homeland, Cyprus. He is currently orchestrating the off-Broadway revival of The Medium by G.C.
