Modern Notebook for June 30 - July 6, 2024

On this week’s Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: John Cage was one of - if not the - most influential composers of the 20th century, and while he was not a minimalist composer, his work “In a Landscape” could be seen a precursor to minimalist music. It is a dreamlike piece composed to accompany choreography… yet, it’s music that captures a sort of zen feeling.
Then: Composer James Diaz has a new album of music for solo violin and electronics called “[Speaking in a Foreign Language]” and it is a deep dive into uncharted soundworlds. We’ll hear a quasi-chaconne moment from this album, in which electronic processing buzzingly responds to the violin.
Plus, music by Sufjan Stevens, Clarice Assad, Jessica Meyer, Dustin Carlson, Stewart Goodyear, Ryan Latimer, Yi-Ting Lu, Reiko Futing, and others; and performances by violinist Harumi Rhodes, soprano Sarah Brailey with cellist Caleb van der Swagh, harpist Chelsea Lane, saxophonist Heidi Radtke, harpist Ben Melsky, violinist Julia Jung Un Suh, pianist Jing Yang, and more.
