In his TED Talk, “Mark Applebaum, the Mad Scientist of Music,” he describes how his boredom with every familiar aspect of music has driven him to evolve as an artist, re-imagining the act of performing one element at a time, and disregarding the question, “is it music?” in favor of “is it interesting?” Wristwatch: Geology is scored for any number of people striking rocks together. The “musical score” that tells the performs what to play is a watch face with triangles, squares, circles and squiggles.

  • Myra Melford and John Zorn
    PROGRAM NOTES MUSICNOW: MYRA MELFORD AND JOHN ZORN Marc Mellits OCTET (2010) Duration: 14 minutes Instrumentation: String Octet Commissioned by the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra Premiered by the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra String Quartet & the Syracuse Symphony Youth Orchestra String Quartet on March 14 2010 at the John H. Mulroy Civic Center in Syracuse, New York Copyright/Publisher: Dacia Music The composer writes: “I composed my Octet during the winter of 2009-10. The majority of the music was written at the Banff Music Center, where I was invited to be an artist-in-residence in January 2010. The incredibly beautiful mountainous surroundings of the Banff Centre had a profound impact on me. My composing studio overlooked the Canadian Rockies, pristine and covered with snow and ice. The weather was brutal, with a level of cold I had never felt. This, juxtaposed with the astounding frozen beauty all around me, provided the inspiration for the music. My studio had a glorious enormous picture window that overlooked the Rockies. The music came quick and it came easy; before I knew it I had material for all four movements. The outer movements are aggressive and have the biting cold I felt, while the second and third movements reflect more of the warmth I felt inside, sharing my thoughts with a wide range of artists who were also in residence.” About the composer: Composer Marc Mellits is one of the leading American composers of his generation, enjoying hundreds of performances throughout the world every year, making him one of the most performed composers in the United States.

  • Invigorating the American Orchestral Tradition Through New Music
    FEARLESS PROGRAMMING: INVIGORATING THE AMERICAN ORCHESTRAL TRADITION THROUGH NEW MUSIC Octavio Más-Arocas A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS August 2016 Committee: Emily Freeman Brown, Advisor Timothy F. Messer-Kruse Graduate Faculty Representative Marilyn Shrude Kenneth Thompson © 2016 Octavio Más-Arocas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Emily Freeman Brown, Advisor Despite great efforts by American composers, their prodigious musical output has been mostly ignored by American orchestras. Works by living American composers account for an annual average of only 6% of all the music performed by American orchestras, while works by living composers of all nationalities combined totals a meager 11%. This study examines some of the historical breaking points in the relationship between American orchestras and new music. Five exceptional orchestras are cited, the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Atlanta Symphony, and the Seattle Symphony, that are thriving while successfully incorporating new music in their programing. This document draws attention to the significant role new music can play in the future of American orchestras by analyzing the programing of new music and projects that support composers, identifying innovative orchestral leaders and composers who have successfully served in advisory positions, and by recognizing and discussing the many creative strategies orchestras are using today. This document attempts to increase the understanding of the need for change in concert programing while highlighting several thrilling examples of innovative strategies that are making an essential contribution to the future of orchestral music.
