Gundmundsen-Holmgreen: Green Ground

Gundmundsen-Holmgreen: Green Ground
- Shrink-wrapped
Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen has made a name for himself as one of the most prolific northern European composers in the past half century. He was known for his unique personality and was established as a major figure in Danish musical life. Gundmundsen-Holmgreen wrote of his compositional style: I often write music that cannot make up its mind, and that is deliberate. This is an accurate description, as much of his music is ambiguous and provocative. He repeats motifs and sound elements without mercy, and the violent clashes of expression within the pieces are memorable. This release presents the world premiere recording of Green Ground, a unique set of pieces which were written for and dedicated to the Kronos Quartet and Theatre of Voices with conductor Paul Hillier. The works use text from Henry VIIIs Songbook and take inspiration from Baroque canons. Some of the most unique and hilariously raucous new music we heard all year. (Time Out Chicago)
