#Song Cycle

[gooboogy]

- If it weren't for you my friends -

- my sliver of hope in this world -

- it would all come crashing in -

- if my story was never told -

Besties forever (until the next cycle)

A Gorgeous, Neglected Orchestral Song Cycle

I love classical music of the late romantic era, eg Mahler's Kindertotenlieder and Schoenberg's Gurrelieder. But how about this - Elegie, by the Swiss composer Othmar Schoeck. It's fabulous and was really successful at the time...Here's the final song with Andreas Schmidt singing and the Winterthur Musikkollegium Orchestra Conducted by Werner Andreas Albert.

Exciting way to kick off 2024– I FINALLY finished the 3-movement song cycle I’ve been writing for my wonderful friend Claire Fedoruk (you can hear her lovely voice singing the solo on “Of Roses and Lilies” on my recent SHARDS album)!

I am so proud of this work—I included poems from two of Claire’s favorite poets. All three poems I used are from early 20th-century women, and they are so powerful and deep.

Claire will be debuting this work during her UK music tour starting next month!

I’ve been listening to a song cycle based on the experience of being a gay guy in New York in the 90s all day and like.

In classical music, queer perspectives are only just getting out there. Hell, even in musical theatre (the cycle kinda straddles MT and classical) it’s not as if there’s a whole lot of queer people’s stories being told.

It’s almost 20 years old. It shows it’s age. It’s centred on a very narrow snapshot of the gay male experience. But this song cycle feels like the first time I’ve ever truly seen myself represented in the art I’m trained in.

Not an adaption of a straight woman’s story or song to crudely reflect my queer male experience.

They’re songs that was written for me. About me.

Go listen to Songs From An Unmade Bed.

Or just this one.

There's a song cycle I wrote in 2017 which got recorded but never got released. It still gets occasional performances by the group I wrote it for, but not many, and I wish there was a place people could just hear it. So until it gets officially released, I'm putting links to the recordings I have in Google Drive.

Scott Cazan dabbles in psychoacoustic experiments and auditory distortion products, Spektral Quartet and Julia Holter perform a song cycle by the composer Alex Temple which embodies themes of alienation and transformation through disparate scenes, and Tujiko Noriko labours in crepuscule, capping a long association with Peter Rehberg and Editions Mego. Plus Lonnie Holley, Vagabon, and John Cale.

"No Limits" Review: Simply breathtaking

It is so brilliant to watch a show in which they do almost everything right. With stunning performances and incredible songs, @NoLimitsMusical is truly extraordinary. Check out my full ★★★★★ review

My newest song cycle for soprano Claire Seely Fedoruk (accompanied by Julian Hellaby) had its world premiere at this gorgeous cathedral (St. Andrew’s) in Rugby, UK earlier this afternoon!! I’m super honored and thrilled to have gotten the chance to set some of Claire’s favorite women poets to music and for it to be shown the light of day in the UK! Three more performances of it by Claire are coming up the rest of this month… 🤩

TRC ANIMATIC :))

Idk what's happening my animatic keeps disappearing from tags, I'm trying to upload the yt version to see if it shows this time

If you come across this I hope you like it anyway :)

Guys!

I was so drowned with finals I slept less than 5 hours a night for two weeks,, but now I'm done. So I finished that animatic I started in December (what a bad idea to start this with that much work tbh), had so much fun doing it! All I could think of the last four weeks was this haha

I will finally add that the lyrics are very much linked to the scenes so make sure to listen to them
