Deep-Sky Objects is a cycle of love songs set in the distant future, exploring intergalactic longing and desire. It is scored for soprano, piano quintet, and pre-recorded electronic sounds. When the piano quintet was in its heyday, the subject that permeated so many of the great Romantic song cycles was that of longing and lost love. Deep-Sky Objects transfers this trope to the outer reaches of the universe In the cycle a woman sings of her lover who is far away in a remote planet in some unspecified star system. At moments she remembers a time when they were together, but mostly she longs for him and stoically imagines that his presence, even so remote, gives her hope:I can live in the worldWith your love becauseI know you existat the end of the black universeThe electronics part often references various “sounds from space,” from pulsars (which are routinely converted into audio signals by astronomers), the signals of made-made satellites, actual audio of the Huygens probe landing on Saturn's moon, Titan, as well as many sounds suggestive of the eerie, remote and unfathomable reaches of deep space. Each of the ten songs is preceded by a short sample, or incipit, which creates micro-compositions based on the title of each song. The text is written specifically for Deep-Sky Objects, by Sarah Manguso.–Sebastian Currier.

Our sky is never the same – from day to day or even hour to hour. It holds the brightest and darkest things we will ever see, and in addition is capable of displaying every imaginable color and mood. Through this expressive work, Samuel Hazo has translated the many qualities of the sky into musical moods. The opening section features flowing melodies beautifully developed between soloistic and full ensemble playing. The “sinister†fast section features driving rhythms, mixed meters and a crescendo that evolves into a powerful setting of the original melody. Sam's sense of timing and emotional pacing is strongly evident in this effective work. (5:45).

St. Petersburg - Paris - Schweizer Exil - Frankreich - USA, dies sind die Stationen eines langen Komponistenlebens, das die Musikgeschichte um eine Vielzahl von Werken unterschiedlichster Stilistik bereichert hat. Igor Strawinksys weltmannisches OEuvre hat die Palette nahezu aller Gattungen erweitert: von der Sonate bis zum Solokonzert, vom Lied bis zur Oper, von der Ballettmusik bis zur Sinfonie... Ebenso facettenreich fallt die Aufzahlung der unterschiedlichen kompositorischen Schreibarten aus, die Strawinsky im Laufe seines Schaffens beherrscht hat: vom durch seinen Lehrer Rimskij-Korsakow beeinflussten Stil der ersten Jahre zur kubistischen Komposition beispielsweise des skandalumwitterten Sacre du printemps, vom Neoklassizismus der Pulcinella bis zu den zwolftonig komponierten Movements - bis hin zu den Ausflugen in den Jazz. Orientierungslosigkeit bzw. stilistische Uneinheitlichkeit gehorten denn auch zu den Vorurteilen, denen sich Strawinsky gegenubergestellt sah. Solchen Vorurteilen tritt Wolfgang Burde in diesem Buch entgegen und verdeutlicht, dass der Komponist niemals a la mode oder a la maniere geschrieben hat, sondern die Neuentdeckung kompositorischer Verfahrensweisen oder auch bestimmter Form-Modelle stets in den Zusammenhang seiner personlichen Denkweise integriert.

Ed Hughes ' Sky Blue for solo Clarinet and Orchestra. A3 Conductor's score. ' This concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra is approximately eight minutes long. It was composed especially for Alison Hughes (clarinettist) and the University of Sussex Symphony Orchestra. Sky Blue is inspired by a painting of the same name made in 1940 by Wassily Kandinsky in which figures appear to float free across a clear blue sky. The painting has been described (by Mona Molarsky, 2009) as 'an ethereal, Miro-like confection with biomorphic squiggles that buzz like glimmering insects in the afternoon sun'. The music is a continuous single movement with moments of harmonic transparency contrastingwith sections of greater modal complexity. There are some sections which also feature soloists in the Orchestra, perhaps like the free-floating figures in Kandinsky's painting. ' - Ed Hughes (June 2014)
