Composer Caroline Shaw explores time and melody.
Caroline Shaw opens up a selection of classical music from a composer and performer鈥檚 point of view - revealing familiar and unfamiliar works in a new light.
Caroline Shaw is a Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, singer and violinist. She is a member of the Grammy-winning vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth, and is regularly commissioned to write for international soloists and orchestras, as well as writing scores for film and TV.
Caroline鈥檚 choice of music includes a sparkly Carnival overture, an anonymous 17th-century love song about some beautiful eyes, and a bass and violin duet that sounds like breathing.
She also discusses the power of repetition in music: from a viola solo that keeps coming back in her own piece Its Motion Keeps, to the 鈥榚fficiency and elegance鈥� of Arvo P盲rt鈥檚 writing in Spiegel im Spiegel.
Plus, a harpsichord player who uses time delay and expression to create the illusion of dynamics in a piece by Couperin.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.
