On this week’s Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: Molly Joyce’s piece Unity explores the similarities and differences between the clarinet and saxophone across two movements. It was also written to incorporate sound descriptions for the purposes of accessibility and artistry of the music.
Then: hear pieces by Baljinder Sekhon, Ge Gan-Ru, and others; plus, music for violin and electronics by Pamela Z called “Four Movements,” which explores different sounds generated by long delay lines and granular synthesis.
Also featuring works by Kimberly R. Osberg, Liova Bueno, Billy Childs, Alice Humphries, Chloe Upshaw, Ralph Lewis, and others; and performances by The Merian Ensemble, cellist Ovidiu Marinescu with pianist Noreen Cassidy-Polera, Duo Entre-Nous, Lyrebird Brass, violinist Rachel Lee Priday, flutist Laura Lentz, violinist Lina Bahn, saxophonist Doug O’Connor, and more.
