tonsättarna Martin Arnold och Magnus Granberg.
Straw (Martin Arnold)
Trouble, Had it All My Days (Magnus Granberg)
Hailed as making “..the most progressive campfire music ever” by The New York Times, trumpeter, composer,
and writer Nate Wooley has been a quiet force in reshaping contemporary American music. As a trumpet
player, he has been an important interpreter of experimental composition, making his premiere as a soloist
with The New York Philharmonic in 2019. As an improviser, he has been a part of a movement to redefine
the technical possibilities of the instrument, his solo performances being called “exquisitely hostile” by
Massimo Ricci of Touching Extremes. His compositions are evolving amalgams of improvisation, folk music,
text, and immersive experiences that communicate an arc of human experience from the fragility of being
alone to the ecstasy of collectivity. He is also a writer of essays on new music published in The New York Review
of Books, The Nation, and E-Flux Journal among others. He founded and was the editor-in-chief of Sound
American, a print and online music journal making space for musicians to speak in their own words, for ten
years.
Nate Wooley used a Foundation for Contemporary Art award, received in 2016, as the seed money to begin
For/With, a commissioning project to expand the solo trumpet literature with pieces that value collaboration,
the spontaneity of improvisation, and exploring beyond the tradition of the instrument.
Straw, by Canadian composer Martin Arnold, was commissioned in 2022, the result of funding from the New York Foundation
of the Arts. Arnold’s music presents a fuzzy, warm, and slightly askew combination of extreme contemporary
extended techniques with hummable and intimate folk melodies. The piece was premiered in Bergen,
Norway on September 30, 2023.
Trouble, Had it All My Days skrevs hösten 2023 på beställning av den amerikanske trumpetaren Nate Wooley
som ett led i ett arbete som syftar till att utveckla en samtida, experimentell repertoar för solotrumpet. Stycket
tar sin utgångspunkt i en aria ur Bachs kantat BWV 21, Ich hatte viel Bekümmerniß, men lånar sin titel från en
textrad av den amerikanske bluessångaren och gitarristen Mississippi John Hurt. Stycket får nu sitt
uruppförande på Rönnells Antikvariat.
Insläpp kl. 18.30, live 19:oo.
