“It’s invigorating to be 89 and say, ‘Well, this is new!’” —Steve Reich

In an interview with @nytimes, Reich discusses his latest work "In All Your Ways" as well as "Music for 18 Musicians," which premiered 50 years ago in 1976.

He also reflects on the work’s central idea of a “memory space,” where recorded voices and sounds of urban life merge with orchestra and chorus. “What the piece is really about is the survivors,” Adams says. “It’s a piece about memory and loss.”

“I thought an artist ought to be able to respond to a collective tragedy like this."

John Adams reflects on the creation of "On the Transmigration of Souls" in @WSJ, 25 years after the September 11 attacks that prompted its commission.

Adams discusses the difficult process of conceiving the work, from reading personal remembrances online and encountering missing-person fliers throughout New York to finding inspiration in Charles Ives’s "The Unanswered Question."

Solution time! 💡
Our #NameThatPiece was Alfred Schnittke’s Viola Concerto — written for Yuri Bashmet and built around a six-note motif derived from his name.
And our clue? The orchestra features eight violas, eight cellos and eight double basses — but not a single violin.

It’s Friday! 💡 Today’s mystery score puts one member of the string family firmly in the spotlight — while another is conspicuously absent from the orchestra altogether. Can you #NameThatPiece?

"Every now and then a new opera comes along that shakes your world," says @MusicalAmerica of the new recording of @davidtlittle's "What Belongs To You," based on @GarthGreenwell's 2016 novel.

It's always nice to get post. Doubly exciting when it's something you've written which has now been published. #newmusic @Boosey

Today’s #NameThatPiece was Harrison Birtwistle’s „The Minotaur“. Rather than retelling a familiar myth, the opera explores the inner world of the Minotaur himself—a powerful new perspective on an ancient story.

"There’s a lot of classical music that is quintessentially American, but if I had to pick one, I think the most American of them would be Aaron Copland’s 'Rodeo,'" says @nytimes culture writer Joshua Barone.

Today’s #NameThatPiece was Galina Ustvolskaya’s Symphony No. 2, “True and Eternal Bliss!” Combining an extraordinary instrumental line-up with a reciting voice, the work creates one of the most singular and uncompromising sound worlds of the late 20th century.
