"Music of the Last Ten Years (2012-2022) is a Sp 2022 graduate course being taught at the College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati.

Bernhard Gander

  Gander studied at the Provincial Conservatoire in Tyrolean State Conservatory in Innsbruck. He studies were marked with periodic meetings with Beat Furrer in Graz and the Electro Acoustic Studio at UPIC in Paris as well as the Swiss Centre for Computer Music in Zurich.  Gander’s compositional voice is marked by his contrarian style. Forgoing classical aesthetics, Gander opts for something more akin to a heavy metal show than a chamber concert. While his orchestrations appear to use the classical instruments, his works bare the influence of his attendance at many metal and rap shows as well as his interest in electronics.  In his work ' Take Five for Three ,' he forgoes the double bass and opts for electric double bass and two percussionists eliminating any pretense of a classical performance. I chose this work from the CD Polyglot, produced and commissioned by the Ensemble Moderne ensemble for Paul Canon. Paul notes how his relationship with Gander has pushed him t...

Hyejung Yoon

  “My works reflect my devotion to God, my love to my husband and children…and my life.” I recently had conversations with a composer, Hyejung Yoon . I had known her since August 2021, yet we seldom talked about her life and music. I got to learn more about this incredible person only recently. I am delighted to share her music on this blog.   Hyejung is a composer based in South Korea and the United States. She holds a DMA degree from CCM and worked with Professor Mara Helmuth during her years in school. Before 2014, she specialized in interactive computer music and serial music that recalls 18 th -century musical style. After her marriage, she ceased writing avant-garde and experimental music and turned her attention to acoustic music.   The first piece by Hyejung I would like to share with the readers is Duo for Two Violins (2012). Hyejung told me that this piece is “abstract but mathematical.” The work often evokes 18 th -century fugue and creates structural tension a...
