Re:Sound's third concert features:
Danielle Kuntz
DechoVoche
DANIELLE KUNTZ
As a classically-trained harpist, Danielle Kuntz has always gravitated toward new and little performed music. Fueled by her desire to make the harp accessible to composers, she has built a growing library of harp writing resources and tutorials. Danielle also collaborates with composers around the world and aims to make her resources available to student composers. Danielle is also an advocate for new music within the harp community and seeks to encourage harpists to move beyond their comfort zone and explore new music.
Danielle shares a collection of new compositions from emerging composers around the country. Each of these pieces are connected to nature, ranging from delicate flowers to majestic mountains.
DECHOVOCHE
Having collaborated since 2008, Dr. Katherine Petersen and Jacob Swanson have launched DechoVoce as an ensemble dedicated to repertoire for voice and saxophone. This collection of songs for Saxophone and Voice explores themes of grief, resiliency, and determination. Jessica Rudmans piece uses harmonic tension between the two instruments to create a sonic landscape that evokes hesitancy and self-doubt despite the poet's tenacious words. Jamie Leigh Sampsons Vanishing Act deconstructs text, interweaving four separate sources into a single increasingly condensed thread. The interplay between instruments highlights the spiraling sense of self and obsessive rumination that come with the loss of a loved one. Imagine this composition delivered as an artificial intelligence oracle from the distant future but we are unable to entirely decipher the prophecy of relationship collapse. Lori Laitmans cycle employs leitmotifs and pedal points to maintain a sense of cohesion while fluid modulations follow the turbulent emotional shifts that one experiences while processing grief.
