Live Recording Aaron Jay Kernis Musica Celestis Ensemble Symphonique Neuchâtel Alexander Mayer Verlag: www.schirmer.com 21.01.2013 Salle de musique La Chaux-de-Fonds
I find myself listening to this alone in a hotel room overlooking San Diego after feeling inclined to study the history of golems, which lead me to the Talmud and the Hebrew alphabet and Solomon Ibn Gabirol and his work, Keter Malchut. And here I am now, in San Diego, listening to an orchestra playing celestial music.
I love how the conductor holds that moment of silence at the end, which is as much a part of the score as anything else. Just holds me there for that moment while my soul just drifts,,,,, priceless,,,
Saw this last night in person in Chicago. The conductor held the silence, counting it out. I wondered if it was in the score. Must be! Thanks for pointing this out.
If you ever, seriously ever, wondered if there is more to your existence than what your five senses can tell you, then think deeply about your emotional responses to this performance of THIS piece. Just at the furthest point of your reach, there is a connection point. At that place you find something that feels like the perfect answer to the most important question for which you just could not ever find the right words. The soul you do, in fact, posess lives forever....in many forms. The love you wish you could experience has always been right where you are. Take it . Share it. Breathe it. Know it. It IS you. Deny yourself no more.
people have mentioned Vasks and Arvo Part; what I hear is deconstructed Dvorak, in particular the Octet Serenade Opus 22... Beautifully performed and excellent audio quality for a youtube vid... oh - Samuel Barber as well...
Intonation was unbelievable! Though not my favorite style of musical writing, you can tell this was written and performed with great feeling and dedication to the musical art form.
sounds a bit like peteris vsks or arvo pärt. but it is a great piece, we played that with the stuttart chamber orchestra and the audience liked this unknown piece more than the britten, mozart and haydn stuff which was also in the programm. i was surprised.

Mesmorisimg. I look forward to hearing this live in New Zealand in 2023.
This is a very very beautiful piece of music it takes away the feelings of stress.
Heard this on the radio I just had to search it up
Same
Me too, lol
Reminds me of John Adams’s minimalist works :) a beautiful, stand alone piece. I listen often!
Our community orchestra is playing this next month. I was spellbound. I too will return for when I need peace and reflection.

Music is spellbinding; conductor isn't bad either. Great camerawork
A marvelous work, extremely well played. We were spellbound from beginning to end. Thank you.
All Strings. Incredible lyricism. Should be required listening for students.
I love this!!!

Well ...aren't you a special snowflake!

very beautiful. unusually powerful. reminds me just a bit of Barber's adagio, also from a string quartet. Cheers!
Heaven

Dear Aaron, do you take yourself for Samuel Barber?...:/
He resembles Copland more
Post-classicisme.
