Episode #3392
New York Indie Classical
Wednesday, October 24, 2012
Sample music from many "indie classical" musicians and composers on this New Sounds, from people like Ted Hearne, Missy Mazzoli, and Christopher Cerrone, to name a few. Listen to Cerrone's spacious piano work, "Hoyt-Schermerhorn," as performed by pianist/composer Timo Andres. Then there's a piece from Andy Akiho, who has composed a number of works featuring steel drums.
Also, listen to a piece by Ted Hearne, best known perhaps for his "Katrina Ballads," where he made musical settings of the text spoken by various officials responding to the tragedy, things like "Brownie, you're Doing a Heckuva Job." Plus, music by David T. Little, based on shape-note singing performed by the Brooklyn Philharmonic, recorded at the 2011 New Sounds Live concert at the World Financial Center. There's also music by Missy Mazzoli (of Victoire) as performed by David T. Little's band, Newspeak, and more.

Music From the Roof of the World
There's music recorded in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan on this New Sounds program. Composer/vocalist Meredith Monk has just returned from a trip to India and Bhutan where she obtained recordings of young musicians striving - via the talent show, "Bhutan Star,"- to keep the traditional sounds of Bhutanese music alive. The program is an "American Idol"-esque talent show which forces contestants to sing the nation's fading traditional songs.
