On the next Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: tune in for music for flute and guitar by Johanny Navarro titled Bambulea, along with pieces by Sara Jacovino and Shulamit Ran. Plus, this work by Chen Yi titled “Romance and Dance.”


Then: The transformation of light throughout a forest and the way it filters through trees serves as the core inspiration for Emilie Cecilia LeBel’s piece “pale forms in uncommon light.” She notes that as an observer standing in the forest, the light doesn’t seem to move at first… but then, over hours, days, months, years, one realizes that light is constantly moving.


Also featuring music by Maeve Gilchrist, Joan Tower, Leilehua Lanzilotti, and Nicole Lizée; and performances by Aizuri Quartet, flutist Amalia Tortajada Zanón with guitarist Andrea González Caballero, violinist Julia Glenn with pianist Konstantinos Valianatos, Calliope Brass, Talla Rouge, pianist Luciane Cardassi, and more.
