Zaid Jabri (Krakow, Poland) - Love and Mercy ( 2010 ) extract

Love and Mercy for Choir and Large Symphony Orchestra , poem by Bar Hebraeus .
Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra and Choir
Conductor : Michal Klauza
Love and Mercy ( 2010 ) extract by ZaidJabri

Это тот случай, когда я испытываю что-то вроде радости первооткрывателя. На мой взгляд, это очень хорошая музыка, и я рекомендую послушать и другие композиции автора. Он не боится опираться на традицию, при этом оставаясь абсолютно современным. Меня привлекла удивительная чёткость, цельность и ясность высказывания, когда мне хорошо понятно, что и почему - очень редкое качество в современной музыке.

Franck Bedrossian - Edges (2010) for piano and percussion

Edges (2010) for piano and percussion by Franck Bedrossian

Франк Бедроссян - уже сложившийся композитор, чьи произведения играют по всему миру. Я был очень удивлён, обнаружив музыку такого уровня в свободном доступе.

"After initial studies in orchestration, and analysis at the Regional Conservatory of Paris, Franck Bedrossian studied composition closely with Allain Gaussin. He continued his studies at the Paris Conservatory (seminars with Gerard Grisey and later Marco Stroppa), where upon graduation he received unanimously the first prize for Analysis, and the first prize in Composition. In 2002–2003 he was in the IRCAM 'cursus' for computer music and composition, taught by Philippe Leroux, Brian Ferneyhough, Tristan Murail, and Philippe Manoury. He also studied with Helmut Lachenmann at Centre Acanthes in 1999 and at the Ensemble Modern Academy in 2004.
His works have been played in Europe and recently in the USA by ensembles such as l' Itineraire, 2e2m, Ictus, Court-Circuit, Cairn, Ensemble Modern, Alternance, the Ensemble Intercontemporain, the Orchestre National de Lyon, the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, the Danel string quartet, the Diotima string quartet. His works have been performed at festivals such as Agora, Resonances, Manca, the RTE Living Music Festival, l’Itinéraire de nuit, Ars Musica, Nuova Consonanza, Le Printemps des Arts de Monte-Carlo,le Festival International d'Art Lyrique d'Aix-en-Provence, Fabbrica Europa, and Wien Modern. In 2001, he received a grant from the Meyer Foundation, and in 2004 won the Hervé-Dugardin prize of Sacem. In 2005 the Institut de France (Académie des Beaux-Arts) awarded him the "Prix Pierre Cardin" for music composition.
Franck Bedrossian has also received the young composer prize from Sacem in 2007. He was a Rome Prize Fellow at the Villa Medicis from April 2006 to April 2008. Since September 2008 he has been Assistant Professor of Composition at the University of California-Berkeley. His works are published by Editions Bilaudot."

Gordon Delap - Pathless Desert (2011)

Pathless Desert by Gordon Delap
Интересная электроакустическая композиция Гордона Делапа из Ирландии. Я всегда воспринимаю подобную музыку как приключение, что-то вроде фильма без изображения. Если верить названию о пустыне без пути, то вполне можно представить все соответствующие чувства, миражи и ощущения человека в пустыне, хотя можно и не ориентироваться на название. Большинство такой музыки мне скучно слушать, но не эту - здесь, на мой взгляд, очень качественный и разнообразный материал.

CaRe Greane - Integration (2011)

Integration (2011) by CaRe Greane
Неожиданно живая авангардная композиция от американского автора, в портфолио которого не замечено больше ничего подобного. Музыка, по-моему, удалась, в неё хочется вслушиваться, и там есть отличные быстрые фактуры в середине.

"Composition II Final, Spring 2011 Semester:

Integration deals with an organic growth of sounds; starting with whisps of air to percussive pops and smacks to finally a climax of bellowing tones and then regressment.

Performers: Sean McLellan - Alto Sax, Ryan Fellhauer - Horn in F, Caleb Rehmet - Bb Trumbet"

Kirsty Devaney - Guitar suite

Guitar Suite I - Elegy by kirstydevaney
Guitar Suite II - Trance by kirstydevaney
Guitar Suite - III Phenomena by kirstydevaney

Гитарная сюита Кирсти Девани, композитора из Бирмингема (Англия), отличается от того, что я обычно выкладываю, большей традиционностью и мелодичностью. В современной классической музыке достаточно редко можно встретить хорошо написанную и записанную медленную гитарную музыку, которой иногда очень не хватает. Неожиданно авангардная третья часть выходит за пределы этой традиционности, что тоже очень хорошо.

"This Suite aims to experiment with different techniques of the guitar, but they are still very much pieces of music on their own.
Each movement focuses on different techniques;
I – Moving positions from sul pont to sul tasto and tremolo
II – Changing time signatures and tone
III – Prepared guitar and freedom of rhythm/pulse

First performed by Ben Mitchell"

"Kirsty Devaney b.1990, is studying composition at Birmingham Conservatoire under Ed Bennett and Howard Skempton and has had masterclasses with Louis andriessen and Jo Kondo. She has been arranging and composing for a number of years and has had commissions for both; including a composition which was performed at the Royal Holloway by Voices Anon in May 2010. Compositions have been performed by renowned performers such as the Chroma Ensemble, Rowland Sutherland, CoMA London and the Thallein Ensemble. She has won a number of competitions including the Conservatoire Orchestral Competition, Erica Becket Recorder Composition and came second place in the Philip Bates Award. Her arrangements have been sold via Sibeliusmusic.com and have been performed across the world.

Her interest in promoting new music and musical education has resulted in her setting up many concerts and events. She has conducted concerts and her own works for both orchestra and windband, and aims to continue developing as a composer-conductor."
