The Joy of Sextets
In The Joy of Sextets , four generations of American composers conjure the musical ghosts of Bach, Schubert, the famed late-English Renaissance composer Orlando Gibbon, and others. Featuring Aaron Copland’s 1933 masterwork, the Sextet for Clarinet, String Quartet, and Piano; Tashi by the prodigious Lukas Foss; Partita-Pastorale after J.S.B. by Pulitzer Prize-winner Steven Stucky, and Motion by perhaps today’s most-talked-about young composer, Nico Muhly.
