\u201cSince time passes slowly in music, we are immersed in a world that is richer and more eventful than ordinary life,\u201d Martin Boykan wrote in Silence and Slow Time: Studies in Musical Narrative<\/em> (2004).<\/h4>\n

\"MartinBoykan<\/strong>\u2019s life was certainly richer than most. Having made his recital debut aged 15, when the New York Times<\/em> described him as \u201can authentic talent,\u201d he went on to become not only a renowned pianist but also a celebrated composer and revered teacher, a key figure in the development of the Music Department at Brandies University. At Harvard, where he studied with Walter Piston, Paul Hindemith and Aaron Copland, he chased roommates away by playing Bach and Beethoven late into the night.<\/p>\n

Much-honored as a composer, Boykan was a generous teacher, and always said that each activity enhanced the other. Composer Eric Chasalow, a Brandeis colleague, described Boykan as \u201ca very rare kind of person. He had a really penetrating musical mind. He could look at a score \u2013 even newly written by a student, very young \u2013 and get to the heart of the issues\u2026 It was never about him. And I think that with artists, that is rare.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diptych<\/em><\/strong>, a quintet, was composed for Cygnus in 2013 and first performed by the ensemble at the Italian Academy at Columbia University in a program presented by the League of Composers\/ISCM.<\/p>\n

\"RichardRichard Festinger<\/strong> is \u201can American master\u201d (WQXR) whose music is \u201cnotable for its combination of propulsive energy with an impeccable sense of poise and balance\u201d (Tanglewood Music Festival). His extensive catalogue of vocal and instrumental compositions has won him international recognition and numerous awards and commissions, and his composing residencies have included the MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, the Aaron Copland House, and the Rockefeller Foundation Study Center in Bellagio.<\/p>\n

Born in Massachusetts, Festinger has made his life and career on the West Coast. A professor of music theory and composition at San Francisco State University, he is the co-founder of Earplay, the San Francisco based modern music ensemble. As a young guitarist, Festinger backed Joan Baez at Woodstock, part of the Struggle Mountain Resistance Band with Jeffrey Shurtleff. Festinger was a friend of Resistance founder David Harris, Baez\u2019s draft-resisting husband. The full set is now available as Joan Baez Live at Woodstock<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The sextet\u00a0Hidden Spring<\/em><\/strong> was written for Cygnus who premiered it in 2004. Its title, taken from a line in a poem of Robert Frost, alludes to the idea of a source from which the music flows, but a source that is only felt, and not quite discernible.\u00a0The aesthetic shares something with abstract expressionist painting, where expressivity is a property of the gestures themselves, rather than of a depiction of something familiar.<\/p>\n

Cygnus<\/strong> is guitars, winds, strings in pairs -- the Elizabethans called such a formation a \"broken consort\", meaning the instruments were from different families.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
