Nico Muhly: Luminous Body (For Nine Male Voices And Orchestra)

Nico Muhly: Luminous Body (For Nine Male Voices And Orchestra)

Luminous Body is a collaboration between Nico Muhly and Craig Lucas, written in the period immediately following their narratively charged opera 'Two Boys'. Luminous Body is, as a result, abstract and poetic in gesture and form. The text interpolates, among other things, stylized versions of the teachings of Christ, Buddha, Mohammed, and Plato; these are scrambled and re-contextualized and, in a sense, serve as background for the textures of the combination of nine male Voices and Orchestra. Part 1 introduces the chord structure that governs the entire piece, and ends with the repeated words, ?only your will is your own.? The second and third parts, loosely dealing with the Devil and the importance of choosing one?s words, are based on drones generated by the Voices and the strings; the constant (but slightly morphing) texture is meant to be meditative and vague. Muhly always wanted to set the Beatitudes, and Craig paraphrased them beautifully here; the tenors intone the word ?blessed? over and over while the strings and winds reiterate the passacaglia from the opening of the piece. The fifth and final part is a series of proverbs. The Orchestra begins in a series of loose, ecstatic drones, which increase in intensity (?Make your own family!?) until you jump suddenly to the garden of Gethsemane, where Christ was betrayed while his disciples slept. ?Why are you sleeping? Couldn?t you stay awake for one more hour?? he asks, while the strings and winds lazily chant in the background. Luminous Body was premiered by The St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and Cantus.

Nico Muhly: Tvísöngur

Nico Muhly: Tvísöngur

Tvísöngur is a composition for large ensemble, written by Nico Muhly , commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. Tvísöngur is a specific type of Icelandic two-part singing that can be found in texts as well as oral traditions, Muhly  writes. Some of the tradition seems, like much early music, to stem from an exercise in voice-leading, while some other examples are more social, impromptu, and secular. These arrangements attempt to frame the tradition through orchestration and wildly shifting contexts, lighting effects and textures. The piece was composed in 2012 and lasts around 5 Minutes.

Nico Muhly: Three Songs (For Tenor, Violin And Drone)

Nico Muhly: Three Songs (For Tenor, Violin And Drone)

Three Songs was expertly composed by Nico Muhly . There is a two-note drone that sounds throughout this piece?s 15-minute duration. In the first part of the songs, the Tenor and the Violin exchange lyrical and declamatory statements. The second part is a song without words: a sort of dance for solo Violin. The third part has the Violin intoning a pair of notes while the tenor sings, in essence, a list. The work was commissioned by violinist Tatiana Berman on French surrealist poems of her choosing, and was premiered at the Constella Festival in Cincinnati in 2012.

SRO100011

In Set Me As A Seal, with words in English and Hebrew, the Choral writing is as warm and freely harmonic as any mid-century English Choral literature, while the sometimes jittery Piano accompaniment manifests Muhly’s Glass influences and his later movement into more modern motifs.Contemporary American composer Nico Muhly is a prolific writer and arranger who, at 32, is the youngest composer ever to have been commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera in New York. His oeuvre includes two operas, and many solo pieces and works for small ensemble, Orchestra, and Chorus and he has collaborated widely.

Nico Muhly: Spiral Mass

Nico Muhly: Spiral Mass

Spiral Mass is a work by Nico Muhly , composed in 2014, commissioned by Holland Festival and BBC Radio 3. The work is arranged for SATB Chorus and Organ Accompaniment, and lasts around 15 minutes. Spiral Mass received its world premiere on 2nd June 2014 during the Holland Festival by the Nederlands Kamerkoor, conducted by Risto Joost, featuring James McVinnie on Organ.  According to Muhly , this compositions is an attempt to set the text of the Latin Mass using a completely different harmonic structure from his previous works. The rhythms and melodies can be seen as circular, rather than linear, becoming evident from both the Organ parts and the choirs initial phrases. As the piece progresses, the dynamic tempo enhances the interplay of all parts, all the while hinting at Stravinskian inspirations.

Nico Muhly: Diacritical Marks (Score/Parts)

Nico Muhly: Diacritical Marks (Score/Parts)

Diacritical Marks was written for the Chiara Quartet in 2011, and is in eight short movements. I have a huge anxiety about string quartets; they are normally meant to be giant expressions of a composer?s emotional life. Here, I focused on details: a tiny dot above a letter, a tiny swivel of the bow. The first and last movements are energetic and driving, and the middle movements are more lyrical, rhapsodic, and/or floating. The quartet is bound together by a piece of drone music, found in movements 3, 5, and 7, in which the second violin and the viola play an interlocking repeating pattern ad infinitum, while the cello and first violin spin very long, outrageous lines on top. The piece lasts just under 20 minutes. ?Nico Muhly

Nico Muhly: Patterns

Nico Muhly: Patterns

Nico Muhly 's Patterns is a work in four sections for solo Organ. Patterns was commissioned by the American Guild of Organists for the 2014 Biennial National Convention in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A. ' Patterns is composed in four sections, each of which is sort of a rhythmic étude. The first (“Move Along”) is a perpetual motion machine with staggered and angular rhythms thrown between the pedals and the left hand. The second movement (“Palindromes”) is calmer and is centered around an idée fixe in the left hand while the right hand interjects and ornaments. The pedals, here, are a clumsy cousin, constantly upturning the sense of rhythmic stability. The third movement (“Similar”) is all to do with ways to divide up the bar: seven, eight, six, five, four — it’s all there. Then the finale (“Very Fast Music”) is a perpetual motion machine on its highest setting — manic and hyper, with hiccoughs offsetting the regularity of some of the rhythms. ' - Nico Muhly

Nico Muhly: Old Bones

Nico Muhly: Old Bones

Nico Muhly 's Old Bones is a setting of four texts, three of which are the media's reaction to the discovery of the bones of Richard III in a Leicester car park, the fourth is a poem in praise of the man who supposedly killed the king. Arranged for Countertenor Voice and Lute, it was composed in 2013. According to Muhly , Old Bones  begins with a news report that is delivered as a recitative while the Lute parts go through a number of interesting patterns. The work sets two texts by Philippa Langley of the Richard III Society who, in a series of interviews, brought an emotion and passion to the rediscovery of the bones that humanised the remains and brought the life and death of the king to the public's attention. It is therefore fitting that Old Bones  ends with her words: "Everyone else was looking at the old bones, and I was seeing the man."

Nico Muhly: It Goes Without Saying

Nico Muhly: It Goes Without Saying

For a piece with such a strong electronic component, 'It Goes Without Saying' is surprisingly organic. While the electronics include chillier, metallic noises—samples ranging from a kitchen whisk to a unique set of tiny bells—most prominent are the warm, woody sounds of a harmonium and of clicking clarinet-keys, sounds that share a certain sonic DNA with the live components of the performance.The piece also develops according to organic principles. Over the initial drone of the harmonium, the rhythm track and the clarinets build the material of the piece up from small, replicating cells into a lively and elaborate texture. The minutely wrought surface is stretched over the simplest possible formal contour, the drone undergirding the piece progressing from C to F and back again. When the slowly building dissonance of the underlying harmonium chord finally reaches its tipping point, the resolution corresponds to a dramatic timbral shock: a shocking burst of industrial noise, dominating rather than complementing its acoustic surroundings. Finally, the machine noises die away and the harmonies return home, the texture warms once again—now leavened by the gentle sound of the celesta. – Program Notes © 2007 Daniel Johnson Performance Notes: The clarinet should be placed in the center of the stage. If amplification is used (which is not necessary but can help solve certain balance issues), it is recommended that there be one microphone traditionally placed, and another close to the side of the instrument, gently amplifying the natural sound of the keys clicking.
