Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The music of Arlene Sierra (b. 1970) has begun to make waves on both sides of the Atlantic. With recent commissions by the New York Philharmonic, the Royal Opera and the New York City Opera, the British-based young American composer has found devoted advocates among many leading performers of our time. The American Academy of Arts and Letters cited Sierra recently: "Arlene Sierra's music is, by turns, urgent, poetic, evocative, and witty. She has a keen appreciation of instrumental sonorities and the inherent drama of successive musical atmospheres. Intriguing, passionate, mysterious, her recent work, Cicada Shell, confidently announces the arrival of a significant composer." This recording marks the first CD devoted to Sierra's music.

Music

Life

Arlene Sierra is an American composer who divides her time between Britain and the U.S. Recent commissions demonstrate her dual-national profile, from organisations including the Tanglewood Music Festival, the Performing Right Society Foundation, the Albany Symphony, the Jerome Foundation, and the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival. Performers of her music include the London Sinfonietta, the American Composers Orchestra, the Psappha Ensemble, and the Tokyo Philharmonic; festivals include Aspen, Bowdoin, and Tanglewood (USA), Pur Oder Plus (Germany), Fontainebleau (France), and Aldeburgh, Huddersfield and Dartington in the U.K. In 2001 she won the Toru Takemitsu Composition Prize, one of the largest and most prestigious international awards for new orchestral music.
