Hello all! Welcome to the first installment of this week’s celebration of female composers here at Musica in Extenso! I’ve been doing this series for a few years now, and I couldn’t even tell you which number this is. But it’s one of my favorite features on the blog. I hope you enjoy it, too!

Today, I feel the need for something a little dissonant, a little yearning, a little uneasy, and this Symphony no. 1 by Soviet-born composer Lera Auerbach is just the thing to fit my mood. This is a 21st-century work, composed in 2006, commissioned and premiered the next year by the Düsseldorfer Symphoniker under the direction of John Fiore.

It’s a gorgeous, lush work in seven movements and one of my favorite personal discoveries over the past year.

1. Aegri somnia 2. Post tenebras lux 3. Gorgoyles 4. Et in Arcadia ego 5. Siste, viator 6. Humum mandere 7. Requiem for Icarus

For lovers of contemporary music, Lera Auerbach is certainly no stranger to the Netherlands. Her 50th birthday will be celebrated with a grand festival from Oct. 15-22 in Amare, The Hague. She herself conducts the Netherlands Chamber Choir in the world premiere of Flights of the Angakok, a plea for the preservation of the North Pole. This concert however, takes place at Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ in…
