On the next Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: composer Juri Seo says that her solo violin work “One” embraces the “duality of time,” as both a flowing and static phenomenon. It’s music cast in 12 movements, each one representing the months in a calendar year.
Then: The Earth is 4.5 billion years old – a length of time that, if compressed to 46 minutes, the existence of humans would only last 25 milliseconds. This is the basis of “An Atlas of Deep Time” by John Luther Adams, a work which the composer says is grounded in his desire to “hear the older, deeper resonances of the earth.”
Also featuring pieces by Emily Hall, Clarice Assad, Valerie Coleman, Bright Sheng, Gabriela Ortiz, and Dai Fujikura; and performances by Slide Action, harpist Elisabeth Remy Johnson, violinist Patrick Yim, pianist Isabel Dobarro, South Dakota Symphony Orchestra, and more.
