Each movement begins with either the Piano or Violin establishing a drone for the duration of the movement with either the Piano or Violin producing a delicate expressive line over the top. Each movement triggers a different sense of emotion throughout. Drones & Violin was composed by Nico Muhly for Pekka Kuusisto in 2010.

So To Speak is an extended meditation on an anthem for Pentecost by Thomas Tallis entitled Loquebantur Variis Linguis (they spoke in many tongues). After organizing the material for the piece I wrote a melody that works against underneath and above Tallis's lines to create counterpoint made of old and new elements. Patterns of aggressive woodwind scales and ornaments evoke some of the hysteria inherent in glossolalia (ecstatic speaking in tongues). The central section of the piece gestures towards an insect-like musical and religious fervor. So To Speak is scored for orchestra and lasts seven minutes. It is dedicated to Amiel Melnick.

Tvísöngur is a composition for large ensemble written by Nico Muhly commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. Tvísöngur is a specific type of Icelandic two-part singing that can be found in texts as well as oral traditions Muhly writes. Some of the tradition seems like much early music to stem from an exercise in voice-leading while some other examples are more social impromptu and secular. These arrangements attempt to frame the tradition through orchestration and wildly shifting contexts lighting effects and textures. The piece was composed in 2012 and lasts around 5 Minutes.

Radiant Music was written for flautist Alice K. Dade at her request for a short recital piece. The CD part is made up of several episodes of shimmering music for flutes dulcimers organs and sampled baroque strings trumpet and choir. This piece attempts to obsess over a repeated sequence of chords - this progression appears in the opening bars of the piece. This sequence reappears in each episode as a harmonic goal for the flute whose part circumnavigates it but never hits it exactly. Also at play in Radiant Music is a notion of fast music that moves slowly versus slow music that moves quickly. This is most evident in the Throbbing music which is very fast but hasan immensely slow harmonic motion and in the conclusion which is made of one chord reworked over a long stretch of time. Radiant Music is dedicated to Alice K. Dade with thanks to Alex Sopp who edited the part in 2007. Download the pre-recorded element HERE .

Vocal Score-Contemporary American composer Nico Muhly is a prolific writer and arranger who at 32 is the youngest composer ever to have been commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera in New York. His oeuvre includes two operas and many solo pieces and works for small ensemble Orchestra and Chorus and he has collaborated widely. Muhly first fell in love with Byrd’s four-part anthem Senex Puerum Portabat during his days as a chorister. The ‘fluidity of the lines the relentless lilting rhythm and the way Byrd both avoided and cradled the text’ inspired the composer to follow a life in music. Written early on in Muhly 's career this piece sets the same text in the modern style. The firststatement of the words is a capella with ecstatic brass entering in the restatement. The ancient Hodie Christus Natus Est follows on seamlessly in a new mood.
