Missy Mazzoli Third Coast Percussion: Between Breaths (CD) Album

Description: Further DetailsTitle: Third Coast Percussion: Between BreathsCondition: NewFormat: CDDescription: EDITORIAL REVIEWS Grammy Award-winning Chicago-based percussion quartet Third Coast Percussion (Sean Connors, Robert Dillon, Peter Martin, David Skidmore) presents Between Breaths, an album of world premieres of works by four contemporary composers, plus a work by the quartet itself. Known for their captivating performances and innovative approach to modern classical music, TCP has been praised for “commandingly elegant” (New York Times) performances and the “rare power” (Washington Post) of their recordings. Between Breaths, a follow up to TCP’s widely praised album, Perspectives, “continues to push percussion in new directions, blurring musical boundaries and beguiling new listeners” (NPR). The works on Between Breaths explore aspects of meditation in sound, incorporate unconventional timbres and tones, and invite listeners to lose themselves within a captivating sonic landscape. Missy Mazzoli’s five-movement Millennium Canticles transports listeners into a vivid realm where a group of people strive to recreate the rituals and stories of human life after an apocalypse. Mazzoli skillfully crafts an evocative soundscape using diverse elements such as wooden planks, resonant metal pipes, tone chimes, drums, discordant metallic tones, a resounding lion's roar, and an array of vocal expressions. In Practice, a collaborative composition by TCP, began as a sound meditation drawing upon the personal rituals of the quartet’s members, from a warm-up routine to using sounds created with everyday objects. This source material laid the foundation for the work, which developed its own sense of direction and purpose, with an atmosphere of meditation and balance. Tyondai Braxton's Sunny X juxtaposes otherworldly acoustic and electronic timbres against a steady rhythmic drive. Within this sonic tapestry, resonant wooden planks, metallic pipes and plates, and an array of gongs and woodblocks contribute to a distinctive and immersive experience. Chicagoan Ayanna Woods’ Triple Point refers to the unique state where a substance simultaneously exists as a gas, liquid, and solid due to temperature and pressure conditions, which results in liquids bubbling into gas, rapidly freezing, exploding, and melting into liquid again. Woods’ composition mirrors this phenomenon, as it encapsulates moments of dynamic energy and musical elements that rise to the surface and dissolve again.Gemma Peacocke’s Death Wish, composed in tribute to Hinewirangi Kohu-Morgan, a Maori artist, poet, and activist, has become a staple of TCP’s repertoire. Performed by four players on two marimbas, the music creates a powerful landscape of melancholy, personal devastation, and hope.Artist: Missy MazzoliNo Of Discs: 1Record Label: CedilleLanguage: EnglishEAN: 0735131922425Run Time: 58.58Edition: AlbumRelease Date: 06/07/2024Composer: Tyondai Braxton, Third Coast Percussion, Missy Mazzoli, Ayanna Woods, Gemma PeacockeGenre: ClassicalStyle: ChamberMPN: CDR90000224Release Year: 2024Tracks: 1: Part 1: Famous Disaster Psalm2: Part 2: The Doubter's Litany3: Part 3: Bloodied Bells4: Part 4: Choiur of the Holy Locusts5: Part 5: Survival Psalm6: Part I7: Part II8: Sunny X9: Triple Point10: Death Wish Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
