Return From The Stars

A composition for flute, oboe, English horn, bassoon, two solo violins and string orchestra written on top of Contrapunctus XIV (the last incomplete fugue) from The Art of the Fugue by J. S. Bach. While the original triple fugue by Bach is maintained (almost) intact by the string orchestra throughout, each section of the triple fugue is accompanied by a new composition by Hatzis, the first scored for woodwinds, the second for two solo violins and the third again for woodwinds with all the instruments joining in a closing coda of Hatzis's invention at the end. The new material has its own thematic development which is independent of the Bach material but exists within the framework of Bach's harmonic and contrapuntal language while reference different styles of music. It is an experiment in what Hatzis calls "Cultural Counterpoint".

Third track of Manos Milonakis's remix release "Sólfar Reworked" by:

Luke Howard (www.lukehoward.com , @lukehoward) : 

Australian Music Prize-nominated composer Luke Howard has been described as “absolutely heavenly” (Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC Radio 6) and his music as “an ambient masterclass” (Musos’ Guide), but no words can fully capture the potency of Howard’s enthralling compositions. A pianist since childhood, Howard has scored films and performed with artists as diverse as Lior and Jeff Mills, capturing audiences with contemporary classical arrangements that curl and twist around the boundaries of a particular emotion. Though wordless, Howard’s songs perform a function unique to music as a medium – that of evoking without describing, bringing listeners to a feeling which defies articulating. 

Now signed to UK label Mercury KX (Lambert, Olafur Arnalds, Solomon Grey) and joined live by drummer and collaborator Daniel Farrugia, 2017 has Howard working across several projects: arranging the keyboard works of photographer William Eggleston, a pioneer of colour photography; a European tour beginning in the UK and ending with a performance at Germany’s legendary Elbphilharmonie; and a new record. 

Howard is one of Australia’s foremost practitioners of contemporary classical music. Having already accomplished so much and with more on the horizon, he is set to captivate audiences worldwide.
