#1927: Program #1927
New Sounds | May 24, 2010
On this edition of New Sounds, composer David Lang presents his CD-length ambient concerto, "The Passing Measures." The new album is a most unusual concerto for bass clarinet, chorus, and orchestra that explores mortality, time, and the function of music. As Lang explains, "My piece is about the struggle to create beauty. A single very consonant chord falls slowly over the course of forty minutes. That is the piece."
