On this week’s Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: While composing her work, “Dark with Excessive Bright,” Missy Mazzoli was constantly listening to Baroque and Renaissance music. And she says that while the piece is based somewhat on Baroque musical ideas, it mostly “slips between string techniques from several centuries, all while twisting a pattern of repeated chords beyond recognition.” 

We’ll hear that, then Tyler will be joined by members of the ensemble fivebyfive. They have a new album out titled “The Play Album,” a collection of works created to inspire all through the power of play. 

Plus, music by inti figgis-vizueta, Victoria Romano, Leonardo Federico Hoyos, Takuma Itoh, and others; and performances by escapeVelocity, Unheard-of//Ensemble, cellist Santiago Cañón-Valencia, and more.
