Remain Hopeful

As one of the most socially conscious young composers in contemporary classical music, Ted Hearne has drawn on a multitude of influences to create Sound from the Bench—his first project for Cantaloupe Music.

Written for the supple, ethereal voices of Philadelphia’s world-renowned chamber choir The Crossing, the four works presented
here tap into themes as varied as racial divides (Privilege), government secrets (Ripple), love and its dark permutations
(Consent), and corporate personhood in the eyes of the US Supreme Court (Sound from the Bench). Taken as a whole, this is some of Hearne’s most wide-ranging and adventurous work—a siren call that resonates with unusual passion in these politically charged times.

Sound from the Bench

Ted Hearne & The Crossing: Consent

When Alex Nikiporenko asked for a piano trio in late 2014 for an 840 concert, the piece that emerged included a paraphrase of Auld Lang Syne. In the process of writing (and fiddling with anthems etc.) I ended up making a harmonisation of the Star-Spangled Banner. Thinking about what to contribute to another 840 concert (spring 2017) the harmonisation felt somehow apt. This present arrangement casts it for string quartet.

This arrangement of "The Star-Spangled Banner" was written for the Manon Quartet and premiered at the 840: New Music for String Quartet on 06/05/2017.
