New REFRAME publication: Composing the Historical - Historical Texts in Music of Today

Open access publishing platform REFRAME is delighted to introduce a new music and media research publication, Composing the Historical: Historical Texts in Music of Today, published at https://reframe.sussex.ac.uk/composingthehistorical <https://reframe.sussex.ac.uk/composingthehistorical>. The project was devised, curated and edited by Ed Hughes, Mimi Haddon and Evelyn Ficarra, and features interviews with Evelyn Ficarra, Roxanna Panufnik, Shirley Thompson OBE, Judith Weir CBE, Rowland Sutherland, Kerry Andrew, Martin Butler, Tom Armstrong and Ed Hughes. Through these interviews, this project asks why and how some of their work engages with pre-existing texts.

Does this work imply nuanced affinities with historical methods and practices that enrich musical language today with perspectives and ‘voices’ from other times? Does this work speak to tensions between modernist and post-modernist perspectives in composition? And how does transformation work in their music, tracing studies in compositional models into novel and original expression offering new musical experiences for today’s audiences? The site considers these questions and more – please follow this link to read the interviews as well as Ed Hughes’ Introduction ‘On music texts and living affinities': https://reframe.sussex.ac.uk/composingthehistorical/ <https://reframe.sussex.ac.uk/composingthehistorical/>
