These keyboard pieces by composer Maria Ljungdahl (STIM, Sweden) range from short and simple etudes for piano beginners to works employing somewhat more complex textures and techniques. Of course, ‘keyboard’ means that the chosen instrument can (for many but not all of the pieces) be something other than an acoustic piano. For example, a cembalo (harpsichord) or a church organ, or an electronic keyboard with suitable instrument sounds. The music in the album can be played as a suite of works in a piano recital, or be performed in any order and selection of numbers from the collection, as the player finds necessary, tasteful and enjoyable. The pieces Intransitive mezzo, Lady M pays a visit to a painter, Dancing polar bears, New blue shoes, and Campanula pianoforte, are perhaps best played in that order, as they are from a work that has been called ”Sonata Something”, but are more like a suite than a proper sonata. The title of the nostalgic waltz theme, Katie Maurice, is alluding to a character, an imaginary friend, mentioned in Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery. The finale piece, Yin & Yang, has been characterized by a fellow composer as written in a ”Bartók-ish music hall” style.

Host John Pitman chats with the great Swedish mezzo-soprano, Anne Sofie Von Otter about her performance of a new work by American composer, Caroline Shaw.  Title "Is a Rose", the three-movement song cycle is sung by Von Otter with San Francisco's Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, as Shaw has written the work with Baroque ensembles - and Ms. Von Otter - in mind.  Next, John talks with the composer herself, touching on the song cycle and her first oratorio, The Listeners, which was inspired by the gold record created for the Voyager spacecraft.  Music from Shaw's new works are interwoven with the conversation.

John Pitman Review: Is A Rose, Anne Sofie Von Otter and composer Caroline Shaw

I have been interested in writing my own music since I was very young (5 or 6 years old) and was encouraged by my first piano teacher, Greta Westfelt. I studied musicology at the universities in Gothenburg and in Stockholm, and I also have a background from science, IT and engineering studies. Many of my musical works can be purchased online as printouts of sheet music from a couple of websites. I write, arrange and make demo tracks of classical, modern classical, jazz, folk, electronic and pop music.
