GREAT music by Young/Emerging Composers (and some already emerged...)

Meditation (2013) for violin and cello

in somnis - for violin and orchestra (2014)
Anastasia Agapova, violin; Kensho Watanabe, conductor; Curtis Symphony Orchestra

in somnis - for violin and orchestra

Performed by Trio Phoenix at the Peabody Conservatory's Cohen-Davison Family Theatre on May 5th, 2016.

This piece, dedicated with gratefulness to Trio Phoenix, follows a meditative journey from billowing chaos to quiet, serene stasis. I’ve noticed that there is a great deal of music which concerns itself with the concept of organic growth but not so much music concerned with organic decay ­- a concept every bit as embedded within the natural world and the human experience, and arguably just as beautiful. To that end, I thought it would be interesting to write a piece which begins "in medias res" at peak ferocity and gradually dwindles down to a calm whisper.
