7:30 PMDescription:
The award-winning composer Martin Bresnick presents a concert called Every Thing Must Go - celebrating his new CD release (of the same title) on Albany Records. Many of the works on the disc will be performed. The performers include Lisa Moore, piano, Ashley Bathgate, cello, Abigail Nims, mezzo-soprano, Wei-yi Yang, piano and the Preludio Saxophone Quartet.
"Every Thing Must Go" CD Most of the music on this new recording honors artists whose works are going or have gone, and each work is a song or composition in the lyrical mode. The compositions celebrate the work of departed masters - Yehuda Amichai, Gyorgy Ligeti, Johannes Brahms and Willie Dixon. The title of the disc also honors "Everything Must Go", the last album recorded by Walter Becker and Donald Fagin of Steely Dan. Their incisive songs are models of imagination, musicianship and lyrical wit.

Notes:
Willie’s Way, dedicated to the remarkable pianist and my inspiring collaborator Lisa Moore, takes off from the old blues tune “Spoonful” by Willie Dixon and especially the unforgettable version by Jack Bruce and Cream. Willie's Way has been adapted as a solo work for Lisa Moore from my earlier Fantasia on a Theme by Willie Dixon.
The song cycle Falling, commissioned by the distinguished mezzo-soprano and conductor Nadine Whitney and the Macon Georgia Arts Council, is built on poems I joined together by Kathryn Stripling Byer and David Bottoms. Kathryn and David went on to became Poets Laureate of their home States – North Carolina and Georgia.
Ballade, for violoncello and piano was commissioned and premiered by the master ‘cellist Andre Emelianoff. An instrumental ballade, it is a “song without words”, intended to evoke the austere, autumnal world of Brahms.
Every Thing Must Go, commissioned, recorded and premiered by the superlative PRISM Saxophone Quartet, explicitly bids farewell to music and musicians I have loved. The second movement, G.L. in Memoriam, borrows a song that haunted my teacher throughout his life. Although his work is done and he is gone, the real patterns of his song still sing transformed in mine.
In a recent book, “Every Thing Must Go, Metaphysics Naturalized” by James Ladyman and Don Ross, published sometime after I completed my own composition, I was intrigued to read the authors assertion that, strictly speaking, there are no “things” in the universe, only “real patterns, all the way down”. I found this observation surprisingly analogous to aspects of my own music. Moreover, in a universe not of our own making, in which we are neither the center nor the goal (if there is a goal), every thing indeed must go, and going is surely on every agenda. We go on singing.
This is a first come seated event. Seating is limited and not guaranteed; please arrive early.

Artists
The Music of Martin Bresnick: "Every Thing Must Go" CD Release Concert
Martin Bresnick
Martin Bresnick's compositions, ranging from chamber and symphonic music to film scores and computer music, are performed throughout the world. Bresnick delights in reconciling the seemingly irreconcilable, bringing together repetitive gestures derived from minimalism with a harmonic palette that encompasses both highly chromatic sounds and more open, consonant harmonies and a raw power reminiscent of rock. At times his musical ideas spring from hardscrabble sources, often with a very real political import. But his compositions never descend into agitprop; one gains their meaning by the way the music itself unfolds, and always on its own terms.
Besides having received many prizes and commissions, the first Charles Ives Living Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, The Rome Prize, The Berlin Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a Koussevitzky Commission, among many others, Martin Bresnick is also recognized as an influential teacher of composition. Students from every part of the globe and of virtually every musical inclination have been inspired by his critical encouragement.
Martin Bresnick's compositions are published by Carl Fischer Music Publishers, New York; Bote & Bock, Berlin; CommonMuse Music Publishers, New Haven; and have been recorded by Cantaloupe Music, New World Records, Albany Records, Bridge Records, Composers Recordings Incorporated, Centaur, and Artifact Music.
