Thereâs great irony in the fact that modern winter music oft-includes the sounds of a vanishing season. The United Nations declared 2025 The Year of Glacier Preservation, and in response, the forms of minutiae imprint launched the year-long Ice Series, focusing on endangered physical and sonic environments.  We could have filled half of this yearâs spots with these releases but felt it would notâŠ

âHorse Sings from Cloudâ (1982), by Oliveros, is a twenty-minute meditation comprising slowly evolving drones and overtones. Originally performed solo by Oliveros singing and playing accordion, here âHorse Sings from Cloudâ is an incandescent rendition that features winds standing in for overtone singing and a blend of strings and winds taking the accordion chords. Rhythmic punctuation by piano and marimba gives us the sense of the bellows shifts that occur during accordion playing.
Ligetiâs âMusica Ricercataâ (1953) anticipates the minimalism that would first appear about five years later in America, yet it contains considerable chromaticism, as well. This early piece is systematic in its additive construction. The first movement uses only two tones, the second three, and so on until the last movement completes the aggregate. The arrangement for Ensemble 0 uses two percussionists playing a number of instruments. Pitched percussion, piccolo and piano give the sonorities a bite. Bells, xylophone and a conjunct melody appearing in multiple registers in the rest of the group affords the second movement a BartĂŽkian ambience, while the sixth and eighth are reminiscent of Stravinsky. More than one minimalist can be seen to have cribbed from the ostinatos in the third movement, and the fourth provides an off-kilter waltz. In earlier movements, it is fascinating how much can be made with a relatively small complement of pitches.Â
Few compose laments as moving as those by Ligeti, and the fifth movement, âLamentoso,â is gripping. The ninth is written in memory of BartĂŽk, sealing the connection heard earlier; here, lament is offset with emphatic keening. The finale is another homage, this one to the Baroque composer Frescobaldi, a master of early fugal counterpoint. Accordingly, Ligeti creates a ricercare that combines twelve-tone techniques with this earlier style.Â
Rearranging pieces for larger complements of instruments doesnât always work, but when it does, as here, it shines new light on composers' inspiration and handiwork.Â

A subset of Ensemble 0 performing Sarah Hennies'Zeitgebers.
Then an other subset of Ensemble 0 for Steve Reich's Four organs.
And the wonderful Pozgarria Da by Petar Klanac (https://petarklanac.bandcamp.com/track/pozgarria-da-full-album-continuous ) (at least one percussionist and a gamelan player didn't fit in the picture)
