Alarm Will Sound For You
Matt Marks from Alarm Will Sound wants to announce:
CALL FOR SCORES
Alarm Will Sound invites submissions for a 5-15 minute piece to be performed as part of a March 2009 Alice Tully concert of music by New York City composers. Works should be submitted in PDF and/or MP3 format to submission@alarmwillsound.com. Preference will be given to works that use Alarm Will Sound’s full instrumentation and which do not require additional personnel. (Please visit www.alarmwillsound.com for information on the ensemble’s personnel.) This call for scores is directed at New York City composers — the connection of the composer to New York City should be explained as part of the submission. All submissions must be received by 5 PM EDT on April 1st.
These performers are amazing and have played and recorded lots of my favorite living composer, Steve Reich. They’ve even recorded a piece for Nonesuch, Steve Reich’s Music for Large Ensemble, so you know he likes them.
Just to taste their many faceted talent, here’s a movement from a recording of Reich’s choral piece Tehilim by Alarm Will Sound.
