In Memoriam. For Large Mixed Ensemble. Composed by Tyshawn Sorey. Edition Peters. Book. 28 pages. Edition Peters #98-EP68784. Published by Edition Peters (PE.EP68784). ISBN 9790300762302. English.
For Olly Woodrow Wilson, Jr. in memoriam for large mixed ensemble was composed by Tyshawn Sorey on a co-commission from the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players and from Radio France and Ensemble Intercontemporain. Ensemble Intercontemporain recorded the world premiere performance, conducted by Elena Schwarz at the Maison de la Radio et de la Musique, Paris, on February 7, 2021 for a broadcast that March.
Olly Wilson's influence is heard not in the style of the piece, which unfolds slowly and contemplatively over the course of a single 20-minute movement, but in the use of pitch materials borrowed from a pair of Wilson compositions of special importance to Sorey: Akwan and Piece for Four.
Calling for 16 players, including a five-string contrabass, this score is published as part of the Peters Contemporary Library and includes extensive performance instructions. Performance materials are available for rent.
