Episode Synopsis
On the next Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: Marie A. Douglas’s Tray is both symphonic and cinematic — weaving shifting time signatures, Dorian-mode melodies, and spirituals in clashing tonal centers. It traces the story of Trayvon Martin, from the night of his death through the aftermath of the trial, and honors lives lost to violence rooted in racial injustice.Then: Inspired by the poetry of Emily Dickinson, Anna Murray’s My Little Force Explodes unfolds in fleeting gestures — breath, whisper, and the interplay of voice and flute. It’s music that also draws from Japanese Noh to shape a sound ritual where silence carries as much weight as sound.Also featured this week are works by Danny Clay, Viet Cuong, Alice Coltrane, Yassaman Behbahani, Kai-Young Chan, Kristin Kuster, Arone Dyer, Andreia Pinto Correia, Rockey Sun Keting, and Kaito Nakahori. Performances by the International Low Brass Trio, Latitude 49, harpist Ashley Jackson, the Harlem Chamber Players, the Chamber Winds of South Dakota, pianist Ava Nazar, pianist Isaac Lam, Die Konzertisten, PRISM Quartet, Stargaze, string quartet Brooklyn Rider, vocalist Michelle O’Rourke, flutist Lina Andonovska, horn soloist Isaac Shieh, and the Khemia Ensemble.
