thanks @KalliJari for putting me on your excellent playlist!
Although it is New Year’s Eve in H.C. Andersen’s heartbreaking fairy tale The Little Match Girl, every Christmas playlist proper must include @davidlangmusic’s 2007 passion setting, containing some of the most wonderful music ever penned. https://t.co/Xg0FPaKVU1 8/10

frances mcdormand & suzanne bocanegra (with music by me!)
Shaker cradles for adults? They rocked Frances McDormand’s mind. The actress, and an artist friend, have installed a small and soulful exhibition in Kinderhook, N.Y., that may have messages for compassion and caregiving.

the #GertrudeStein text for this - these are her repeats! - is: And after that what changes what changes after that, after that what changes and what changes after that and after that and what changes and after that and what changes after that.
ok - my favorite movement of 'composition as explanation' is probably this one below sung and played so delicately by @ashley_bathgate and @eighthblackbird amazingly, all the repetition is in the original text by #GertudeStein

this interview is from 10 years ago and all I can see is that I loved that jacket I'm wearing - I left it in a hotel room someplace and I really miss it! thanks, @CincyMayFest for letting me see it again. oh yes, and see you next month!
Hear from @davidlangmusic about his collaborations with Michael Gordon, Bang on a Can, and 2024 Festival Director Julia Wolfe, as well as his philosophy on musical categories in this video from Carnegie Hall →
