Cheryl Frances-Hoad's Cloud Movements for Clarinet Violin and Piano. Cloud Movements was premiered by Ensemble Matisse on the 8th January 2015 at the Purcell Room (South Bank) as part of the Park Lane Young Artists New Year Series. 'On honeymoon in Tuscany I was determined to come home inspired by a great work of art on which to base my next commission. However it was watching the gradually changing shape of a cloud crossing the sky over a glass of Tuscan Red that eventually inspired this work: the idea influences the harmonic progressions in the piece which gradually metamorphose in shape following no particular rules. Backhome I started reading Naomi Klein's This Changes Everything about Climate Change and Capitalism. A chapter about 'Solar Radiation Management' a potentially hazardous proposed geoengineering practice in which sulfates are sprayed into the stratosphere (with the intention of reflecting sunlight back into space) influenced the piece as it progressed (in particular the final movement). The second and fourth movements are both canons - the first a three part canon the second a four part palindromic one (palindromes also feature in the final movement).' - Cheryl Frances-Hoad

This one-movement piece with a duration of 11 minutes stems from the estate of Giselher Klebe who died in 2009. The work is delightful to play, rich in gesture, easy on the ear and ideal for private music making. Moreover it constitutes a valuable addition to the repertoire for violin, clarinet and piano, an appealing combination of instruments, for which composers such as Ives, Bartók, A. Berg und Krenek composed works of standing during the 20th century. / Clarinette, Violon Et Piano

À l'origine, Christian Jost voulait devenir astronaute, mais il ne fonctionnait pas. Au lieu de cela, il devient un des compositeurs plus réussies de la jeune génération. Sa dernière oeuvre de musique de chambre, ' eingefroren ', est ouvrant une voie musicale dans la mémoire humaine. Répartie uniformément sur tous les trois instruments, des fragments de clignotants des motifs et des phrases courtes de film ressemblant à des souvenirs stockés dans l'inconscient sont scintillement. / Clarinette, Violon Et Piano
