Ted Hearne | Law of Mosaics
Juantio Becenti | The Glittering World (new commission)
A Far Cry presents the world premiere of a new commission by Juantio Becenti that portrays Diné Bahane’, the Navajo creation story, in which “The People” (Diné) ascend through a series of mono-colored worlds into the current world of many colors, also known as “The Glittering World.” A pairing of two prismatic works, the Becenti evokes the refraction of light, and Ted Hearne’s Law of Mosaics (as featured on A Far Cry’s album of the same name) warps, magnifies, and shatters found musical material.

Nong is an ancient Korean term meaning “to play”—here, the joy of discovering new ways of playing when different cultures intersect. gamin, a Korean-born NYC-based multi-instrumentalist specializing in traditional Korean wind, along with her collaborators, places instruments and concepts from traditional Korean music alongside a variety of American musical elements.
On the program, Theodore Wiprud’s Mudang for Piri (a double-reed bamboo oboe) incorporates shamanic energy that ranges from meditation to ecstasy. Korean composer Yoon-Ji Lee dedicates her composition to ‘comfort women’ (victims of human trafficking throughout Japan-occupied East Asia, 1932-1945) in her work for taepyungso (a double-reed shawn) and strings. Works by William David Cooper weave Western string instruments with Korean winds, incorporating folk tunes and different tuning systems. Nathan Schram, Brooklyn-based composer and GRAMMY-winning violist, highlights the organic, almost guttural expressions with an immovable, spacious rhythmic underpinning of Korean traditional music. Mexico-born, France-based composer Alejandro Mata’s independent research into Korean heritage, music, and history has deeply influenced his innovative new composition for saenghwang(Korean mouth-organ) and string quartet, and gamin’s composition broadens the range of the new musical realm with her traditional improvisatory ideas of Korean folk music.
With Nong, gamin and her collaborators—NY-based multicultural ensemble INTERWOVEN and electronic sound artist Yoon-Ji Lee—hope to diversify American audiences’ aesthetic understanding of East Asia, which is all too often painted in broad strokes. The musicians from South Korea, Taiwan, China and Japan will weave their sounds together in hopes that their collaboration would inspire peaceful and harmonious relationships amongst the North Eastern Asian countries despite their tumultuous history, as well as to inspire new generations of American composers and musicians to embrace the inherent multiculturalism of American music by bringing their crafts with rich traditions from around the world, and approach music-making with the distinct goal of bridging cultural divides.
