If you want really haunting classical music, you can get some, here at Musica in Extenso! Our Halloween Week 🎃 is dedicated this year to extremely rare music compositions, including works from the 20th century and also contemporary pieces.

In this post we have Black Angels by George Crumb, performed by the Miró Quartet: Daniel Ching (violin), Sandy Yamamoto (violin), John Largess (viola), Joshua Gindele (cello).

If you want some contemporary piano music spiced with a little bit of Christmas mood, you are at the good place. This week, we are celebrating Piano Music with special a Christmas Edition, here at Musica in Extenso. 

For this post we are going with A Little Suite for Christmas, A.D. 1979, a composition for piano, written by the american composer George Crumb in 1980. The suite is conceptually related to the Nativity frescoes of the Arena Chapel in Padua, Italy. This private chapel, painted by Giotto (finished in 1305), traces, through a series of separate panels, the lineage and conception of Jesus Christ, incidents in his life and his crucifixion and resurrection.

My Princeton University semester-end piano studio recital for today: menu includes George Crumb, plus the more usual suspects of Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy and Ravel. A little late with Crumb’s Little Suite for Christmas, A.D. 1979 (well, a couple of weeks late for Christmas; 40 years late for 1979!), but I like to keep the Christmas spirit alive year round. #Princeton #piano #music #concert #GeorgeCrumb #Bach #Beethoven #Chopin #Debussy #Ravel #Giotto #Christmas #style (at Princeton University) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsi5ZGhAk7l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k948wtyuz0am
