Night music. Nachtmuzik as the Germans might say. The Nocturne. If you’re a fan of the sitcom How I Met Your Mother, you’re probably familiar with the phrase “nothing good happens after 2 am”. While that may be true for New York City nightlife, but that’s not true for composers. In this episode we’ll hear a range of music that captures the "evening twilight of the heart, when its wild passion-waves are lulled to rest”.
Our April 2025 episode featured four large scale works by Amulets, Colin Andrew Sheffield, Boston Modern Orchestra Project & Lukas Foss, and Alan Lamb's Night Passage.
