The future of our fragile world is in our hands. As Sir David Attenborough stated on the Climate Conference in Glasgow on November, 1st, 2021: ... We are already in trouble. The stability we all depend on is breaking. This story is one of inequality, as well as instability. Today, those who’ve done the least to cause this problem, are being the hardest hit. Ultimately, all of us will feel the impact, some of which are now unavoidable. ... We’re going to have to learn together, how to achieve this, ensuring none are left behind. We must use this opportunity to create a more equal world and our motivation should not be fear, but hope. ... . We must be more caring about the wonderful place we live in... our unique home: Planet Earth. This music is both a shoutout to take care of our planet and a hymn to the beauty of this place. The composition is suited for stage as well as for the enjoyment in music school orchestral practice.

Like his subsequent non-certo For Marcos Balter – also composed during the upheavals, political and otherwise, of the year 2020 – Tyshawn Sorey's For Roscoe Mitchell for cello and orchestra is a single-movement work that imagines a non-adversarial, non-hierarchical relationship between the soloist and the ensemble. The 20-minute piece is named in admiration of Sorey's friend and collaborator Roscoe Mitchell, the Chicago-based bandleader, composer, educator, and performer. Cellist Seth Parker Woods gave the world premiere in November 2020 alongside conductor David Robertson and the Seattle Symphony, who commissioned the piece.
This full score is available for purchase as part of the Peters Contemporary Library, with solo and orchestral parts available on hire.

Miniature Score. This work was commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. It was first performed on 13th May 1998 London. This piece is based on a genuine old tune 'Maxwell's Strathspey' which the composer found in an 1824 collection of Scottish melodies, and which unfolds at the start of the piece on solo cello. Variations and a bold up-tempo to the quick dance we know as a reel ultimately yield to the magic that has been promised right at the start: the northern lights take over at the end of the piece. Its inspiration comes from a walk to a community event in Hoy Hall, during which Davies saw the lights in the sky pulsing in and out of time with the sounds coming from the hall. Duration 12 minutes. Conductor's score and orchestral parts are available on hire.

It was at the suggestion of the conductor of the World Premiere, Mariss Jansons, that Jorg Widmann refers to musical characteristics of Beethoven's 7th and 8th Symphony. His starting points primarily are specific fast types of movement in the Beethoven works which he translates into his tonal language. Widmann has chosen the same instrumentation as the Beethoven symphonies and takes on the task of causing a similar 'stir and rhythmic pressure' (Widmann) with these economical means.

Inspired by Jeff Donaldson's dizzyingly complex painting JamPact JelliTite (for Jamila), George Lewis's Flux for 16 players was written during the composer's residency at Oberlin Conservatory, where the work was composed in 2014 and premiered that year by the Contemporary Music Ensemble. Dedicated to the memory of Wendell Logan, the composer who founded Oberlin's jazz program in the late 20th century, the score is also inscribed with gratitude to the students and faculty of Oberlin, in particular Timothy Weiss, conductor of the Oberlin CME.
The wild, 12-minute score leaps unexpectedly between musical ideas and calls for a wide range of extended performance techniques: quarter tones, multiphonics and percussive effects in the winds, glissandi on the piano strings, exotic bowing techiques, and more. The score includes full performance notes and is available for purchase as part of the Peters Contemporary Library. Performance materials are available on hire.
