| A Screaming Comes Across the Sky |
Performed by The Fauxharmonic Orchestra,
Conducted by Paul Henry Smith
“Man, this is absolutely dynamite!
You have done a fantastic job of capturing all of the nuance of the piece - the variety of the percussion, the string divisi, the mutes - all of it is here. I can’t imagine how many hours of work went into this. I just want to congratulate you on your frighteningly accurate representation of the piece.”
– David Heuser
Associate Professor of Composition at University of Texas San Antonio,
Winner of the 2006 Fauxharmonic Orchestra Composition Contest.
Like most of Ludwig Tuman’s writing, Awakening, a work for chamber orchestra, resists being easily classified.
| Awakening (chamber orchestra) |
While composed in an atonal idiom, it contains hints of the classical music of Java, the raga of India, the baroque concerto grosso, and other sources that attentive listening will discover, blended together within a coherent artistic statement.
Awakening is not program music in the sense of following a specific story line. However, as its title suggests, the music does evoke a movement from darkness into light, from dreams to consciousness. Listeners have described their experience of listening to it in terms of an individual awakening, nature’s revival after winter, creatures evolving over eons, and an entire world spinning into the morning.
