Chinary Ung - Spiral XIV “Nimitta” (2016)

Chinary Ung’s music weaves together his Cambodian heritage, Western classical training and a powerful sense of purpose born of life's challenges to create music that is profoundly moving and transformative. Ung's singular approach to color, gesture, timbre and form results in a highly authentic music that sounds unlike anything else being created today. Spiral XIV "Nimitta," commissioned by Zeitgeist in 2012, incorporates vocalization, chant and Cambodian percussion instruments in addition to Zeitgeist's unique instrumentation of two percussion, clarinet and piano. One of the longest established new music groups in the country, St. Paul-based Zeitgeist commissions and presents a wide variety of new music for audiences in the Twin Cities and on tour.

TRANSIENT CANVAS

Kirsten Volness - Year Without a Summer (2017)
Dan VanHassel - Epidermis (2017)

Boston-based contemporary duo Transient Canvas presents two pieces from their electroacoustic show, Wired. Kirsten Volness’ Year Without a Summer acts as commentary on current attitudes toward climate change in the U.S., and Dan VanHassel's Epidermis blurs the line between machines and musicians in a fast-paced battle to find balance. Both pieces were composed for Transient Canvas in 2017 with generous support from the Boston Foundation and the Johnstone Fund for New Music. Hailed as "superb" by the Boston Globe, and "nothing short of fabulous" by the Boston Musical Intelligencer, Transient Canvas is elevating the roles of the bass clarinet and marimba in contemporary music by commissioning new repertoire that expands their limits and explores their seemingly limitless tapestry of color.

Shih-Hui Chen - Fantasia on a Theme of Plum Blossoms (2007)

Boston-based Semiosis Quartet, formed in 2014, is quickly gaining a reputation as a dynamic ensemble dedicated to presenting the string quartet repertoire of the 20th and 21st centuries. In Shih-Hui Chen's 2007 string quartet, Fantasia on the Theme of Plum Blossom, a popular Nankuan (a traditional style of southern Chinese/Taiwanese music) melody serves as a basis for the work's three movements. The tune appears in various fragments throughout the piece and becomes most obvious in the third movement, where the viola imitates the sound of a pipa.

Buck McDaniel - Marefka Sketches (2018), plainsong (2014, rev. 2017), This Is What You Shall Do (2014, rev. 2018), Conditions of Living (2012, rev. 2017)

Composer Buck McDaniel is joined by friends and collaborators from both the contemporary music community and Cleveland’s vast indie-rock and jazz scenes in performances of his most intimate chamber works for strings, voices, piano, and electronics. His set includes the miniature chamber oratorio This is What You Shall Do (2014, Rev. 2018), setting an excerpt of Walt Whitman’s preface to Leaves of Grass; plainsong (2014, Rev. 2017) for cello and electronics (quoting Nina Simone); and the explosive electro-acoustic work Conditions of Living (2012, Rev. 2016) setting English Renaissance poetry by Ben Johnson. A former arranger for composer Nico Muhly, McDaniel’s work reflects both the heavy-influence of Muhly and his freelance career as a Catholic organist in the inner-city.
