Chamber-Scale Composition
Rebecca Saunders: Stirrings Still
Stirrings Still by Rebecca Saunders is a work of ethereal but elemental beauty, creating an intoxicating web of sound that is typical of this composer’s investigation of the limits of instrumental possibility. Stirrings Still also expands her compositional thinking, defining new kinds of musical relationships between the virtuosic players of the German ensemble musikFabrik, for whom the piece was written.
