"When tragedy strikes our lives, time doesn’t heal wounds. Words of condolence are not enough to alleviate the painful heart, but once we start surrendering our wounded hearts to the magical beauty of music, we may just be able to find solace from within…" excerpt from SOLACE album notes.

Structured around 5 stages of grieving (Denial, Depression, Anger, Bargaining, Acceptance), SOLACE is a personal musical healing project I created to pay tribute to my father, who's life was taken away in a senseless gun violence on the south side of Chicago.  SOLACE stays close to my heart as I process and bring powerful closure to the past 25 years of silently grieving. I share SOLACE with millions of others suffering silently due to such unfortunate events. May the power of music bring us comfort and healing and enable us to seek compassion, forgiveness, appreciation and love for one another. Let's spread MUSIC and LOVE, not bullets and hatred, and make this world a better place. May God bless us all. Thank you!

Nicolo Paganini - Caprice No. 24

"زارلینو" (۱۵۹۰-۱۵۱۷) آهنگساز و موسیقی دان ایتالیایی بی‌شک یکی‌ از معروفترین تئوریسین‌های موسیقی دوره رنسانس بحساب میاید. مقالات او شامل مباحث مهمی‌ در آشنایی‌ با کنترپوآن و بررسی کوک‌های مختلف سازی است، که هنوز هم مرجع مهمی‌ محسوب میشوند - شاید بتوان زارلینو را نخستین کسی‌ دانست که به اهمیت تفکر آکوردی و پیدایش هارمونی [در مقابل تفکر رایج کنترپوآنتیک] پی‌ بُرد -

در اینجا برای نمونه، یکی‌ از ساخته‌های او را معرفی‌ می‌کنیم که برای گروه کر نوشته شده است - بنگرید که چگونه تمام خطوط موسیقیایی علی‌رغم پیچیدگی‌ ساختار، اما روشن و واضح به گوش میرسند

You, Me, Them, and Us (Piano Day 2019)

John Mackey is a composer currently based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  He's also lived in New York, Austin, Los Angeles, and Ohio, but he prefers not to talk about Ohio.

As a frequent collaborator, John has worked with a diverse range of artists, from the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum and Bugle Corps to choreographer David Parsons, from the Alvin Ailey Dance Company to the US Olympic Synchronized Swim Team. (The team won a bronze medal in the 2004 Athens Olympics performing to Mackey's work for clarinet and percussion, "Damn.")

John has served as a Meet-The-Composer/American Symphony Orchestra League Composer In Residence with the Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphony and with the Seattle Youth Symphony Orchestra. He has been Composer In Residence at the Vail Valley Music Festival in Vail, Colorado, and in 2005, at the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music.  He returns to Cabrillo this summer for  performances of his trombone concerto, "Harvest," conducted by Marin Alsop, with trombonist Joseph Alessi of the New York Philharmonic.

John holds degrees from The Juilliard School and The Cleveland Institute of Music, where he studied with John Corigliano and Donald Erb, respectively.

To entertain himself while procrastinating on commissions, John enjoys photography and road cycling (but not at the same time). You can hear his music and see his photography (mostly of food, and the backs of conductors’ heads) on his website: www.ostimusic.com
