Coming up on Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: In his work “Home,” Kevin Puts places the work within the tonal center of the key of C, which he says represents the idea of home. But, over the course of the work, he abandons this idyllic atmosphere in search of new, unfamiliar harmonic terrain: a metaphor for the refugee crisis in Europe.
Plus, the Moth Quartet is a string quartet made up of composers, and we’ll hear their co-composed work Scree Scrub Mountain Sky. It’s music from a larger collection of work written in and inspired by the rugged landscapes of New Zealand’s Tongariro National Park.
Tune in for that, as well as music by Amy Dunker, Ahmed Alabaca, Emily Praetorius, Debra Kaye, Bryce Dessner, Yue Song, Emilie Cecilia LeBel, and others; and performances by trumpeter Nicole Gillotti, pianist Nic Gerpe, Miró Quartet with Conspirare, violist Carrie Frey, bass clarinetist Marcella Barz, percussionist Lee Hinkle, pianist Cheryl Duvall, and more.
Hear it all Sunday night from 8 to 10 ET on Classical WSMR 89.1 and 103.9. Stream from anywhere at wsmr.org.
