Alfred Schnittke – “Collected Songs Where Every Verse Is Filled with Grief” arr. the Kronos Quartet (1997)</strong></h2> <p>Alfred Schnittke’s most famous piece is probably known to most people through a version that is not quite his own. Initially composed for chorus from the works of St. Gregory of Narek, “Concerto for Mixed Choir” was rearranged by the <a href="https://www.popmatters.com/tag/kronos-quartet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kronos Quartet</a> in 1997 and is a work of painful, strained beauty. A hint of dissonance underlies the melancholy and makes its occasional turns into major sounds all the more disconcerting.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <div class="rll-youtube-player" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EMutgHPc4x8" data-id="EMutgHPc4x8" data-query="feature=oembed" data-alt="Collected Songs Where Every Verse is Filled with Grief"></div><noscript><iframe title="Collected Songs Where Every Verse is Filled with Grief" width="640" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EMutgHPc4x8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></noscript> </div></figure> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2-henryk-g-recki-miserere-1981"><strong>2. Henryk Górecki – “Miserere” (1981)</strong></h2> <p>Though many may know his “Third Symphony” from its use in movies like <em>The Tree of Life</em>, my favorite work of Górecki”s is slightly less daunting (a half-hour as opposed to a full one), and agreeable for both devoted and distracted listeners. I would describe its movement as akin to water: flowing, lapping, with no clear break from beginning to end. Comprised of five Latin words, this choral work is massive, with the Polish composer indicating that it has been scored for 120 voices. It was initially composed in support of the Solidarity movement, but it was not performed until 1987 due to government repression. It compresses time so that the beginning and end seem to be clearly visible from one another and yet separated by a vast distance.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <div class="rll-youtube-player" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0RrvFzLvhWc" data-id="0RrvFzLvhWc" data-query="feature=oembed" data-alt="Miserere - Górecki // Danish National Concert Choir (Live)"></div><noscript><iframe title="Miserere - Górecki // Danish National Concert Choir (Live)" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0RrvFzLvhWc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></noscript> </div></figure> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-gavin-bryars-the-sinking-of-the-titanic-1972"><strong>3. Gavin Bryars – <em>The Sinking of the Titanic</em> (1972)</strong></h2> <p>Existing in three distinct versions, with rearrangements occurring in 1990 and 2005, all by Gavin Bryars, I prefer the first for its (relative) concision. “Titanic” contains one main string refrain, later replayed and refracted in various voices to give the sound of an orchestra playing on the sinking ship. Scattered throughout are interviews with survivors of the crash, giving stories both dramatic and banal. Not to be coy, but the result is mammoth, even if the number of instruments used is small. The melody is vast and wide open, and it is cut down to size by the effects employed, as well as additional instruments like music boxes brought to bear. It is the sound of the open sea suddenly drowning you.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <div class="rll-youtube-player" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mse8vu8s4ms" data-id="Mse8vu8s4ms" data-query="list=PLiN-7mukU_RHaQ4D7BOQ1SJ5c_D2O0dqx" data-alt="Bryars: The Sinking of the Titanic - 1.

Caroline Shaw – “Partita for 8 Voices” (2012)</strong></h2> <p>This American’s four-movement choral work was the 2013 Pulitzer Prize winner for music and the first for unaccompanied voices. It runs through a smattering of vocal styles, including speaking, breathing, throat singing, and wordless harmonizing for an exhilarating 20-ish minutes. <a href="https://www.popmatters.com/tag/caroline-shaw" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.popmatters.com/tag/caroline-shaw">Caroline Shaw</a> contorts voices in ways that nonetheless feel natural and familiar, touching on keening, the clarity of electronic music, and bird song. Shaw, who also performs with the American Contemporary Music Ensemble (ACME) in New York, has a number of works for listening and score excerpts for browsing on her very helpful website, including other choral pieces, string quartets, and others. </p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <div class="rll-youtube-player" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NDVMtnaB28E" data-id="NDVMtnaB28E" data-query="feature=oembed" data-alt="Roomful of Teeth perform Caroline Shaw's 'Partita for 8 Voices' | Music on Main"></div><noscript><iframe title="Roomful of Teeth perform Caroline Shaw's 'Partita for 8 Voices' | Music on Main" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NDVMtnaB28E?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></noscript> </div></figure> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-5-arvo-p-rt-spiegel-im-spiegel-1978"><strong>5. Arvo Pärt – “Spiegel im Spiegel” (1978)</strong></h2> <p>Possibly the most minimal piece from the father of holy minimalism, “Spiegel im Spiegel”, is frequently scored for piano and violin, although a cello, bass, or flute may replace that second instrument. The structure is straightforward: the piano plays slow patterns of three notes, occasionally augmented by a deep bass tone, as the “melodic” instrument holds long notes overhead. On paper, it looks dull; in practice, nothing is more spellbinding. For this reason, its early music-derived tonality has appeared in films and commercials and was even the signal for when the seatbelts in the early 2000s Volkswagens were unbuckled. His style is so pleasant and distinctive, and it’s impossible to truly replicate that Pärt has become a titan of post-1950 composition without having set foot in the avant-garde in years.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <div class="rll-youtube-player" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/n37bNmVggtU" data-id="n37bNmVggtU" data-query="feature=oembed" data-alt="Renaud Capuçon plays Arvo Pärt: Spiegel im Spiegel (with pianist Guillaume Bellom)"></div><noscript><iframe title="Renaud Capuçon plays Arvo Pärt: Spiegel im Spiegel (with pianist Guillaume Bellom)" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/n37bNmVggtU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></noscript> </div></figure> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-6-osvoldo-golijov-mariel-arr-maya-beiser-2003"><strong>6. Osvoldo Golijov – “Mariel” arr. Maya Beiser (2003)</strong></h2> <p>The works of this Argentine composer have been reimagined on various instruments, but most tantalizing to the ears is this six-part cello arrangement of “Mariel”, originally for cello and vibraphone. Beiser performs the piece herself in the clip below, though it can be performed by up to six cellos in concert, each part looping and building on the others with frightful intensity. Osvoldo Golijov’s pieces tend toward the drifting and ambient, but “Mariel” feels direct in Beiser’s hands, clear as a shaft of light compared to the hazy oceanic textures he usually works in.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <div class="rll-youtube-player" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fQivpQytEtg" data-id="fQivpQytEtg" data-query="feature=oembed" data-alt="Golijov: Mariel | Nicholas Canellakis - Ian David Rosenbaum |"></div><noscript><iframe title="Golijov: Mariel | Nicholas Canellakis - Ian David Rosenbaum |" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fQivpQytEtg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></noscript> </div></figure> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-7-justinian-tamusuza-ekitundu-ekisooka-1988"><strong>7. Justinian Tamusuza – “Ekitundu Ekisooka” (1988)</strong></h2> <p>Straightforward and lyrical, this work was brought to the wider world’s attention when it was featured on <em>Pieces of Africa</em>, a collection of compositions from African composers (Tamusuza is Ugandan) performed by the Kronos Quartet. After training in Baganda, Tamusuza studied under Kevin Volans, whose “White Man Sleeps” is included on <em>Pieces</em>, among others, and the diversity of influence proves vital to his music. It grabs you from the start, never truly relenting.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <div class="rll-youtube-player" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QSYckNtcSpE" data-id="QSYckNtcSpE" data-query="feature=oembed" data-alt="7 Justinian Tamusuza, Kronos Quartet - Ekitundu Ekisooka - Pieces Of Africa"></div><noscript><iframe title="7 Justinian Tamusuza, Kronos Quartet - Ekitundu Ekisooka - Pieces Of Africa" width="640" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QSYckNtcSpE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></noscript> </div></figure> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-8-serena-tideman-parallel-universe-no-3-2011"><strong>8. Serena Tideman – “Parallel Universe No. 3” (2011)</strong></h2> <p>A work for solo cello, “Parallel Universe No. 3”, is a showcase for the potential of Serena Tideman’s native instrument as a solo performer. Her bowing is at times vigorous, and others languid, often in the space of just a few bars. Most importantly, she easily generates gut emotions like awe, excitement, anger, and anticipation. Perhaps it is because Tideman composes for an instrument she plays. Still, her command of just what the instrument is capable of is astounding and virtuosic but always in service of the piece.</p> <iframe loading="lazy" style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="about:blank" seamless data-rocket-lazyload="fitvidscompatible" data-lazy-src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=296583113/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=e99708/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=794176194/transparent=true/"><a href="https://serendipitymusik.bandcamp.com/album/kalakala-songs-from-a-parallel-universe">Kalakala: Songs From A Parallel Universe by Serena Tideman</a></iframe><noscript><iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=296583113/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=e99708/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=794176194/transparent=true/" seamless><a href="https://serendipitymusik.bandcamp.com/album/kalakala-songs-from-a-parallel-universe">Kalakala: Songs From A Parallel Universe by Serena Tideman</a></iframe></noscript> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-9-william-basinski-dlp-1-1-2001"><strong>9. William Basinski – “dlp 1.1” (2001)</strong></h2> <p>Possibly the piece that deviates most from the norm, William Basinski’s “Disintegration Loops” are almost as famous for their story as for the actual sound of the thing. The composer attempted to transfer a number of old tape loops to a digital format, but as the tapes ran through the digitizer, pieces of magnetic material began to fleck off, the pieces dissolving the further on they went. In practice, this left jagged holes carved out of the hazy sounds, sometimes appearing gradually, sometimes brutally, as much material falls off at once. </p> <p>The final loops were completed on 11 September 2001, and Basinski and his friends sat on the roof of his apartment in Brooklyn, watching the smoke billow from Ground Zero as the pieces played. In some sense, this threatens to overshadow the work itself, which is staggering even outside of the allegory it now represents. “dlp 1.1” is possibly the greatest of them all, devastating in its accidental replication of the violence of all things.</p> <iframe loading="lazy" style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="about:blank" seamless data-rocket-lazyload="fitvidscompatible" data-lazy-src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1686158765/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=e99708/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=3723501541/transparent=true/"><a href="https://williambasinski.bandcamp.com/album/the-disintegration-loops">The Disintegration Loops by William Basinski</a></iframe><noscript><iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=1686158765/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=e99708/tracklist=false/artwork=small/track=3723501541/transparent=true/" seamless><a href="https://williambasinski.bandcamp.com/album/the-disintegration-loops">The Disintegration Loops by William Basinski</a></iframe></noscript> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-10-ingram-marshall-fog-tropes-1981"><strong>10. Ingram Marshall – “Fog Tropes” (1981)</strong></h2> <p>American composer Marshall’s work forms a bridge between ambient, electronic, and classical music, a trait on display here. Composed for “brass sextet and tape”, the piece is stridently amelodic, filtering through many permutations of the same mood. He rejects both serialism and holy minimalism for something more like the sound of a broken ham radio.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <div class="rll-youtube-player" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/d9GSKmbiv0Y" data-id="d9GSKmbiv0Y" data-query="feature=oembed" data-alt="Ingram Marshall – Fog Tropes"></div><noscript><iframe title="Ingram Marshall – Fog Tropes" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/d9GSKmbiv0Y?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></noscript> </div></figure> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-11-krzysztof-penderecki-st-luke-passion-1965"><strong>11. Krzysztof Penderecki – “St. Luke Passion” (1965)</strong></h2> <p>Possibly the foremost master of dissonance and the true avant-garde voice post-1950, Penderecki’s range was phenomenal, composing for quartets, orchestras, choruses, and everything in between. “St. Luke Passion” is my pick for its vicious atonality, powerful emphasis on serialism, and brief bursts of melodic, major voices that feel like the light of God shining down on the suffering Christ of the Passion. In fact, rarely in classical music has such tremendous violence been conveyed so directly. If nothing else, this makes Penderecki a master.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <div class="rll-youtube-player" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xhKhStgNxrw" data-id="xhKhStgNxrw" data-query="feature=oembed" data-alt="Penderecki, St. Luke Passion"></div><noscript><iframe title="Penderecki, St. Luke Passion" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xhKhStgNxrw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></noscript> </div></figure> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-12-john-coltrane-a-love-supreme-1964"><strong>12. John Coltrane – <em>A Love Supreme</em> (1964)</strong></h2> <p>I know what you’re thinking here, but hear me out. This four-part composition may contain elements of improvisation and free jazz, but in what sense is it any different from “Miserere” than “Fog Tropes” or “dlp 1.1”? If this list has shown anything, it is that compositional music post-1950 is full of abrupt left turns, aiming directly for the ditch and coming back out stronger. I would argue that <a href="https://www.popmatters.com/tag/john-coltrane" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.popmatters.com/tag/john-coltrane">John Coltrane</a>‘s piece is the most accomplished, most affecting, and best American composition in the period considered.</p> <p>Its four-part structure works to its benefit as a whole, differentiating between each section in Coltrane’s life-long striving for spiritual release through music, building tension and release in each movement and through all 30 minutes of the thing. Bandleader and virtuosic musician he may have been, the man was a composer, and the marks of his pen, and indeed his scalpel, are all over <em>A Love Supreme</em>. It is judicious where necessary, opulent in other moments, never anything less than the mind of a genius.</p> <p>Many composers pre-1950, Stravinsky among them, borrowed liberally from ragtime and jazz, subsuming them within a mantle of “sophistication” and “complexity” it was implied never existed in the source material. Post-1950, it’s time to acknowledge those progenitors as something other than materials to be cherry-picked; they were high art in their own right, and never more so than on <em>A Love Supreme</em>.</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <div class="rll-youtube-player" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ll3CMgiUPuU" data-id="ll3CMgiUPuU" data-query="feature=oembed" data-alt="John Coltrane - A Love Supreme [Full Album] (1965)"></div><noscript><iframe title="John Coltrane - A Love Supreme [Full Album] (1965)" width="640" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ll3CMgiUPuU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer;
