On the next Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: Wēpan is the Old English word for “weeping.” It’s also the name of this piece by Tina Davidson scored for piano quintet - a work that explores metallic preparations in the piano mixed with evocative sliding gestures in the strings. 

Then: Gazing at the night sky has been a source of bewilderment and inspiration for millenia - and invitation to discern patterns and seek their meaning. It’s music inspired by the stars by Gerardo Dirié composed for viola da gamba and bass clarinet titled Noctuary Duos.

Plus, music by Grace-Evangeline Mason, Beyza Yazgan, Nico Muhly, Gabriela Ortiz, Gity Razaz, Amanda Feery, Samuel Carl Adams, Ayanna Woods, and others; and performances by Lyrebird Brass, NOW Ensemble, pianist Natalie Zhu with the Jasper String Quartet, Duo Entre-Nous, Metropolis Ensemble, Crash Ensemble, viola da gambist Johanna Rose with bass clarinetist Diego Montes, pianist David Kaplan, The Crossing, and more.
