Preface The three movements of the quartet may be perceived as three different expressions of an unstable core: an inherent unrest leads to frequent changes of direction. The first movement is full of dramatic contrasts: it is followed by a second movement, whose basic mood of meditative rest is challenged by occasional centrifugal utbursts, while the third movement takes the inherent conflicts to a higher level, contrasting material of introspective lyricism with excessively pathetic moods. The final way out is a retrograde one, (back) into the source: through a constant accelerando-diminuendo the piece disappears into a vanishing point. The into the source of the titlemay be visualized as a reversed fountain-action: the broad fan-like spread of the first movement, a more coherent-solid second movement, and finally - in the third movement - a return-run, ever more vehemently, like a suction into the spring itself ... The musical motifs are varied: there are traffic-situations (which I heard!) with stomping and machine-like rhythms in different, but simultaneous tempi, and there are more abstract upwards and downwards half-tone-scales, with changing accents, creating glimpses of melodies. INTO THE SOURCE, String Quartet No. 9, was composed on a double-commission from the Orion Quartet and the Vertavo Quartet. The premiere performances took places in Santa Fe in 2002 and in Oslo in 2003. Per Norgard.

Draws on the natural harmonic series to evoke the mystery and beauty of the northern night sky. Special effects such as rubbing a superball mallet on the double bass, unstable bass harmonics, and singing while playing and using unusual fingerings in the flute create an eerily beautiful, howling sound like wind throug the mountains.Flute, Viola & Double Bass Duration: 9' Composed: 2018 Published by: Nauticus Publishing.

An event so powerful that it is hard to control, seemingly unpredictable, aggressive, fast moving, and unstable. All these thoughts are explored as powerful percussion elements combine with dissonant intervals in the winds. Complex sounds for a work that is very approachable!

Coventry Carol was arranged for the Choir of Trinity College, Melbourne as part of their 2015 carols services on December 4, 5 and 6. It has since been recorded for CD (Beneath the Incense Tree, APL17427) as part of the College's centenary celebrations for the consecration of the Horsfall Chapel in 2017, with current Director of Music Chris Watson conducting.The well-known text is sourced from mystery plays celebrating the Feast of Corpus Christi, for which the traditional melody and harmonisation can be found in a 1591 edition published by Thomas Mawdycke. Here, the source material becomes increasingly unstable as the Massacre of the Innocents approaches, resulting in an apocalyptic climax. A barren and desolate epilogue follows, as foretold by Jeremiah 31:15. (She refuses to be comforted, for they are no more.).

Cree Brown's Icescape is the first New Zealand orchestral work to celebrate a passionate engagement with the unforgiving natural world of Antarctica. Icescape reveals some of the various moods of the polar continent, the diverse ice forms and the composer's personal impressions of being there. The orchestra revels in rugged soundscapes – abrasive string timbres, wind instruments that evoke bird calls, primal brass glissandi. Thick blocks of sound contrast with unstable rhythms and expanses of calm. The work's vast timbral spectrum is as vital an element as dynamics or rhythm, its intriguing and memorable sound world conjuring powerful images of this journey to an otherworldly place.
