Скачать или смотреть J.P. Redmond - Variations (2019)

Performers:
Naomi Dumas, baroque violin
Adam Young, baroque cello
Caitlyn Koester, harpsichord

"Variations" was written for my friends and fellow students in Juilliard’s historical performance department: Naomi Dumas and Adam Young, respectively baroque violinist and cellist, and Caitlyn Koester, harpsichordist. I have always been intrigued by the similarities of contemporary and baroque music – including attentions to texture and polyphony and an emphasis on an ensemble with equal, soloistic voices – and therefore wanted to write a piece for period instruments. Though the piece is inspired by baroque form – in this case, theme and variations – and baroque styles, it also blends other influences and idioms from contemporary (and not solely classical) music to create a fusion of past and present. Additionally, it is intended to be performed tuned to A = 415.

Recorded live at Morse Recital Hall, The Juilliard School, on the March 25, 2019 Composers' Concert.
