Little England - a chamber opera in nine scenes
มุมมอง 442 ปีที่แล้ว
In a lonely little corner of little England, Jack and Jill appear to us with a problem. The famous duo informs us that there is a monster nearby, a Miniaturist, who lives in isolation, preying upon children and those alone after dark. They reassure us he is a threat that needs dealing with and that they are up to the challenge, and to trust them as they set off on their adventure to slay the mo...

We are just SO lucky to have YOU in the world Aurora !! ❤ Thank you for all the Music and the Songs.
25:25 When an audience member shoots themselves from boredom. The band keeps playing.
I like the Doggy theme on this one, I've only just found this, are there another 4?
Creative variation on a fractal theme! Excellent. Thanks!
Interesting
Beautiful. What is the instrumentation? Are individuals assigned a particular note or left free to choose between breaths/bows? Also, are performers more or less constantly playing or leaving large gaps?
It's been that long that I can't remember who was playing what. Performers are expected to play the diad if they can, other wise to pick a note. But there are no real rules to it. There aren't many gaps, unless someone needed a break.
Shades of Pauline Oliveros. I drone huge chords and listen to the tones swirl about. u should too.
Now a member of The Last Dinner Party!
This is magic
genius!!
So they all just held that note till it wouldnt anymore and then hit it again... For almost 3hrs.. nice ..
Yep! A 12hr version happened a few months later, but I wasn't able to record it
Love it. Subscribed
𝓹𝓻𝓸𝓶𝓸𝓼𝓶 🙏
Beautiful 😍
More granular that way...
Slow to 0.25:1/4 speed...goes all night. Thought I was getting mavd's-- sunvox, paulstretch-- but this'll do fine...
So beautiful! Moved me to tears and gave me chills. Well done!
Thank you!
@@markbowler no problem! Thanks for sharing such beautiful music. When I was taking private voice lessons I focused on countertenor singing as well.
Certified Jeremy Nguyen Classic
No one chord needs to be played for this long, but if we must play one for this long, I approve of the choice
Can't go wrong with the perfect fifth
my children will be conceived to this piece
update?
sounds like your children arent getting enough supervision
where can I buy this?
nowhere
This could benefit from a gong and a violin. I imagine fast, high pitched frenzy combined with a meditative resonance. Well played!
👍
Musik wiedermal langweilig
Why
Why yes
why not
Turns me on
Kuhle Sache
Strangely addictive
I don't know how they call this specific exact musical style/genre, but when I want to hear something "out there" this is the on my enjoyment limit. I think this sounds great, to me it sounds modern but not soulcrushing harmonies (ex. Schönberg & friends :) although I think it's interesting music, I just can't listen to Schönberg and similar music for long time, my soul dies if I do)
Really nice, this one feels a bit more impressionistic (at least to my ears).
Nice! Also, it was interesting to see his hands because of the necessary technique involved. :)
I really liked this one too. I know close to nothing about contemporary classical music, but the harmonic world reminds me to MEssiaen a little bit. Do you think you had some influence from him?
This was great!
Well that was different!
Awesome work mark !
I like the last one
I think number 2 is my favourite
Great
I'm more or less obsessed with how cool this piece is! 🤘👍👏
Thank you!
