Tawnie Olson continues a theme from MoM1 – the exploration of color – with her settings of Canadian artist Emily Carr’s journals, a set of highly-concentrated cameos of this lonely, eccentric artist who wrote words to affirm her value in the face of hurt and misunderstanding. Words and paint seem to intermingle in Tawnie’s translation of Carr’s ideas into musical vignettes. JACK Quartet then joins us for Unhistoric Acts, Chaya Czernowin’s titanic synthesis of disparate quotations born of the pandemic. In Chaya’s bold musical strokes there are worlds of outrage, fear, intimacy, and defiance, as she examines George Eliott’s aphorism, “for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts.”
Beloved of the Sky is commissioned for The Crossing, Seraphic Fire, and Brigham Young University by the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition at Brigham Young University.
