[Commlist] New publication: Composing the Historical - Historical Texts in Music of Today

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':
