A Closer Listen’s Winter Music Preview: Modern Composition

Source: a closer listen.

A change of direction, an anticipated collection and a slew of soundtracks mark the winter slate of releases in Modern Composition. This music may be elegant, but it’s not just for highbrow audiences; a few of the albums below have crossover potential, and we may even see them chart; nothing would please us more! As many of the composers we cover have broken into the world of film scoring, we’ve seen their popularity increase, benefitting the entire instrumental music industry. The next renaissance may be right around the corner! In the meantime, we hope you’ll enjoy this sneak preview of the winter slate, starting with solo piano and proceeding to full orchestra. Today’s cover art comes from Leslee Smucker’s Breathing Landscape; look closely and you can see the title!
