Cello Concerto (2012)

for Olly Coates
Solo Cello & Orchestra, 18'

When the Barbican asked me to write a concerto for Olly Coates and the Britten Sinfonia, I immediately started making plans. I wanted to write something formally traditional (fast-slow-fast) but with steadily developing content. The first movement is angular, the second supple, and the third motoric; there is constant progression and no looking back. The […]

Looking Forward was written for the 20th anniversary of the Britten Sinfonia. and, at their request, dovetails with Henry Purcell’s setting of Psalm 102. I have chosen fragments from the same psalm to set in a harmonic landscape that alternates between drone-based diatonicism and more confusing chromaticism, stolen from Purcell’s keening and twisted vocal lines. […]

Mixed Messages (2015)

Yannick Ne?zet-Se?guin and the Philadelphia Orchestra
11'

Commissioned and Premiered by The Philadelphia Orchestra, Yannick Ne?zet-Se?guin, Music Director. The first performance took place on 13 May 2015 at Verizon Hall, Philadelphia, USA.

Order of Operations (2013)

Orchestra, 9:12

Order of Operations is an orchestra piece in three large sections: fast, medium, and slow; structurally, it resists traditional symphonic structure. The first section is essentially a perpetual motion machine with hiccoughs and interruptions. The second section is an obsessive harmonic process, creeping slowly up from lower instruments to higher, but never exploring the extremes. […]

Out of the Loop (2003)

Orchestra, 15'

There are two distinct sets of material at play in Out of the Loop. The first is a clear, sterile pulsing””highly organized and mathematically informed. The second set of material (which exists primarily in the background) is a tonally and rhythmically flexible mess of sorts, involving more shimmering, aggressive and antagonistic material. For the most […]

Pleasure Ground (2014)

Baritone & Orchestra, 20'

Commissioned by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and The MusicNOW Festival in honor of Louis Langre?e with support from Ann and Harry Santen. Texts compiled by Tyne Rafaeli from the writings of Frederick Law Olmsted. I have long been interested in Frederick Law Olmsted; as a New Yorker, I am surrounded by his work. More so, […]

Voice & Orchestra, 3'

Traditional English folk song arranged for Aurora Orchestra.

Seeing is Believing (2007)

for Thomas Gould, Nicholas Collon and Aurora Orchestra
solo electric six-string violin and chamber orchestra

Seeing is Believing references the exciting and superstitious practice of observing and mapping the sky; while writing it, I wanted to mimic the process by which, through observation, a series of points becomes a line ““ this seemed like the most appropriate way to think about a soloist versus an orchestra. The electric violin is […]

So Far So Good (2011)

Orchestra, 20'

Commissioned by Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra (lead commissioner), Edwin Outwater, Music Director, Seattle Symphony Orchestra and Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. So Far So Good is the first piece of non-programmatic orchestral music I’ve written in about five years. It was simultaneously thrilling and unnerving to write something without a dramatic structure helping me along. As such, the […]

So to Speak (2004)

for Amiel Melnick, Fervent Polyglot
Orchestra, 8'

So to Speak (After Thomas Tallis) is an extended meditation on an anthem for Pentecost by Thomas Tallis entitled Loquebantur Variis Linguis (they spoke in many tongues). After organizing the material for the piece, I wrote a melody that works against, underneath, and above Tallis’s lines to create counterpoint made of old and new elements. […]

Tvísöngur

Orchestra, 5'

Commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Tvi?so?ngur is a specific type of Icelandic two-part singing found both in manuscripts and in oral traditions. Some of the tradition seems, like much early music, to stem from an exercise in voice-leading, and other examples are more social, impromptu, and secular. These arrangements attempt to frame the tradition […]

Two Motets (2009)

Chamber Orchestra

William Byrd’s music has always fascinated me both as a composer and as an erstwhile choirboy; on the page it looks like so little, but then in its realisation, an enormous emotional landscape unfolds. When Nick Collon asked if I might try to orchestrate a few motets for Aurora, I jumped at the chance. There […]

for Nadia, friend and teacher
Viola & Orchestra, 24'

Wish You Were Here (2007)

for those who are in danger by reason of their labor or their travel
Orchestra, 10'

I’ve always suspected that cartoons and illustrations do a better job capturing the emotional content of the unknown than pictures and first-hand narration. I have a picture in my head of the illustrators of the 1940s and 1950, holed up in Belgium drawing the tribal peoples of the Congo, or in California articulating gorgeous Arabian […]
