Recorded live at the Center for New Music in San Francisco.

Abaciscus:
noun
1. (Archaic) One of the tiles or squares of a tessellated
pavement; an abaculus

The movement titles for the first three movements refer to mosaics
found primarily in the Villa Romana del Casale and the Piazza Vittoria
de Palermo in Sicily, and date from the early 4th century. The title for
the fourth movement comes from the Daphni Monastery in Athens,
circa 1100 AD.

The sacred and profane elements, taken together, are of particular
interest, and form the philosophical framework for this piece. (Musical
references to the Beach Boys’ California Girls and the Viderunt Omnes
of Pérotin are designed to underline this point.)

Commissioned by Third Angle Ensemble

selective defrosting

This is a From the Top premiere of Carolina Bragg's "Birds of Paradise," recorded by the commissioning ensemble, Friction Quartet.

Hosted by pianist Peter Dugan, this program features both material recorded remotely with young musicians in studios near their homes as well as material recorded in-person in Boston, MA. We meet a young cellist who just received a grant to buy the cello he’s been dreaming about for years. A talented teenage French Horn player performs one of Franz Strauss’s beautiful nocturnes, and a young composer premiers a work inspired by the mating rituals of Birds of Paradise.

18-year-old composer Carolina Bragg
