I thank God I stumbled over this. The presence of the sublime is impossible to miss - true, individual genius, lifting us to transcendence. Stunning. A thousand thanks to all those involved - and to Nico Muhly.... You can make the flow of the universe, and our twitch in its flow, audible. I don't know how to thank you for our brief companionship. So, simply, thank You.
So much pain, happiness and mutually exclusive emotions. One day people will understand...However, how far will this cutting edge of musical thought go to that moment?
This is THE composition of 2020. It should win every award. I can't imagine another piece addressing the crisis of its time with such aplomb. I've been following Muhly's work for a while, and I even think he might have "better" pieces--the concertos come to mind--but for anyone who loves classical music and realized the threat to it posed by 2020 (and I'm aware that there were other, more serious threats to families, communities, lives, etc), this is THE piece. Really moving.
it's on par with seeing is believing i'd say
As much as Muhly's technical writing evolves, I still can't help but I love his early piece "Motion" the most.
That really is not the most cohesive, or technically established piece.
But its the voice that really attracts me, and very few later pieces of Muhly does that for me
my only critique of this piece is,in being a Muhly fan, this work sounds like a Muhly jukebox piece
What a tapestry of sound and rhythm! So much color and vibrancy. Love it.
Fantastic piece, orchestration, playing, and video editing! 10s across the board!
Thank you everyone who made this happen. It was much needed. So wonderfully done in every aspect! Til hamingju Nico!
Well conceived and musically tasteful. A fresh listen to clever combinations offering fleeting colors and rhythms.
An incredible piece. Just what I needed tonight, although I didn't know it until I heard!
Why is it "incredible"? To me (and I have a doctorate in musicology),it is a load of cheap and nasty codswallop.
Absolutely love it! Thank you very much, can't get enough, hope there's more to come in the near future. Keep up the fabulous work to all involved.
¡Gracias y mil gracias Nico por esta maravillosa obra de arte! Saludos desde Uruguay
Brilliant piece. Thank you.!!!
Absolutely striking...and beautiful
Really really nicely done. Also great to see how you brought the guitar in.
Absolutely stunning
This is just wonderful in every respect.
Very interesting piece. Excellent clarinet!
Stunning!
So so so gorgeous! Really beautiful and fun way of filming it too haha
Marvelous!
Fantastic.
Nice track
so sick
Diversity reflected in music! Final words remain silence as a tribute to nature, what remains.
just wow.
This is actually muhly outdoing himself for the first time in a few years, at least to my ears. There is an audible progress in his stylistic choices, not a complete shedding of skin, just a fresh update of his vocabulary. Oh and the way it unfolds reminds me a lot of his older piece drones, variations, ornaments, especially at the point of dessner's guitar entry.
Only someone absolutely steeped in 16C counterpoint could have written this. It is beautiful
There's no counterpoint. It's all textures.
@@frankfeldman6657 I never said that it was otherwise. One can either see what i meant, or you cannot.
@@frankfeldman6657 Contrapuntal writing can be implemented into compositions in different ways. It does not only manifest itself in lines moving independently like in classical works. Thats a limited way of looking at what counterpoint is capable of achieving.
Muhly's textural writing is not just textures. Its got foreground shifts; different lines spikes at different times, intertwined into each other, yet maintains high level of clarity. Its not a dull, flat texture that everything blurs together.
This is a sign of solid counterpoint training.
That being said, there are still some very obvious counterpoint in this piece right at the beginning, at 2:17 for example, you cannot tell me that is not counterpoint. I don't know how you even missed that in the first place
@7:53 It reminded me of Skins
HOW IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT ESPERANZA
Is there a list of these wonderful players?
The guitarist is Bryce Dessner of the band "The National".
Visual overkill but gorgeous music
How many times should I expect to need to hear this before it starts to make sense?
Junk.
