Michael Torke: Three

Michael Torke: Three (2003) more music like this

performed by John Harle (saxophone)
composed by Michael Torke

Versatile in a wide variety of genres, skilled in orchestration, and extroverted in outlook, Michael Torke is one of the most accessible and appealing composers of the postmodern generation. Yet his facility and readiness to adapt to expectations sometimes make his music seem derivative and forced, and Three presents some of Torke's most ...

composed by Michael Torke

Even though its title suggests some musical association with the 1967 song by the Beatles -- perhaps even a direct borrowing from it, as in Alvin Lucier's remarkable Nothing is Real (Strawberry Fields Forever) -- Michael Torke's one-act opera is only indirectly linked through its setting: the section of New York City's Central Park named ...

composed by Michael Torke

Ingenuity and facility are the boon and bane of Michael Torke's talents, and both are intertwined in the works covered on this 2004 box set from Ecstatic Records. For all his brilliant orchestration, original formal concepts, and occasionally daring uses of styles, there seem to be opposing qualities of commercial slickness, clever game-playing, ...

One

One (2004) more music like this

performed by Argo Band, Catherine Bott (soprano), Kurt Ollmann (baritone), Valdine Anderson (soprano), Netherlands Radio Choir (choir, chorus), Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra
composed by Michael Torke

Rhythmically propelled, pungent with distinctive woodwind timbres, and overflowing with bright, pan-diatonic harmonies, Michael Torke's music tends toward neo-Classicism, and resembles Stravinsky's music in many ways, though it also seems strongly influenced by the minimalism of Steve Reich and Michael Nyman. The setting of texts in irregular ...

Michael Torke: Blue Pacific

Michael Torke: Blue Pacific (2007) more music like this

performed by Hana Chu (piano)
composed by Michael Torke

Blue Pacific represents a departure from the minimalist-inspired orchestral music for which Michael Torke first became well known -- it's more characteristic of the strongly pop-influenced style that he's come to favor. Blue Pacific is a piano solo entirely in a pop style; its opening sounds like it could be an arrangement of a Broadway ballad, ...
