Coming up on the next Modern Notebook, Tyler Kline shares music for soprano and piano trio by Jennifer Higdon called “Love Sweet,” which sets five poems about love by poet Amy Lowell. Plus, a string quartet by Jessie Montgomery called “Break Away,” which asks the musicians to “break away” from the written music, blending composed elements with improvisational passages.
