Divided into four acts, lasting well over two hours, featuring five singers and scored for a large ensemble (effectively an expanded version of the Michael Nyman Band), it comes close to "grand" opera in design, which perhaps explains why the work has been overshadowed by the composer's more approachable chamber operas.]]> Fri, 05 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.michaelnyman.com/inspiration/post/composer-michael-nyman-settles-an-old-score-the-independent The Independent Source: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/composer-michael-nyman-settles-an-old-score-2313618.html]]> Fri, 15 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.michaelnyman.com/inspiration/post/long-beach-opera-to-present-works-by-michael-nyman-osvaldo-golijov-la-times Wed, 13 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.michaelnyman.com/inspiration/post/on-landguard-point-east-anglias-cultural-olympiad-bbc-news Prehistoric seas People are also being asked to dig up a square metre of their gardens. The Dig & Sow part of the project will register 205 sites. Ms Lewis, director of Access Cambridge Archaeology, said: "I grew up [near Bungay] looking for fossils of the animals that lived in the prehistoric seas of East Anglia. "We'll have archaeologists on-call if people ring up and say 'Help, I've got a Sutton Hoo ship burial, what should I do next?' "It's amazing what turns up because, before about 50 years ago, rubbish wasn't taken away, it was just put out the back." The project is funded by the Arts Council and Helen Lax, its regional director, said: "We're hoping there will be a legacy after the Olympics that people have got involved, participated, volunteered or seen really great art. "[Art and sport] are the two things that fire people up and there's a misconception that you either like sport or you like art - people like both. "We're really good at the arts in this country, so the Cultural Olympiad is a chance to celebrate our cultural heritage with the rest of the world." Michael Nyman's concert takes place at Felixstowe's Spa Pavilion on Friday, 23 September, 2011 and it features three sound commissions including the world premiere of a piece called On Landguard Point.

Where Vertov’s camera captured life in Soviet cities only, Nyman is able to take the aim one step further, reflecting our modern world: here, the locales themselves give evidence of today’s accepted international interaction. 26 countries and territories are listed in the credits, and Nyman’s camera moves as freely between continents as it does between social classes, activities and cinematic devices. What appears at times to be haphazard collage shows abundant evidence of clever segues that imply plays-on-words or various views of a single subject.]]> Tue, 10 May 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.michaelnyman.com/inspiration/post/mn-records-releases-the-opera-facing-goya Mon, 18 Apr 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.michaelnyman.com/inspiration/post/nyman-to-perform-soundtrack-music-for-stanbul-concertgoers Thu, 14 Apr 2011 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.michaelnyman.com/inspiration/post/ravenhill-and-nyman-take-your-seats-for-jazzed-up-monteverdi Fri, 08 Apr 2011 00:00:00 +0000
