Stream/Buy: orcd.co/bstst
This is a live performance of the album arrangement of “Pathways” from the album 'Becca Stevens & The Secret Trio' (GroundUP Music).
Becca Stevens - “This is a setting of a Rainer Maria Rilke poem that I wrote years ago as a gift for two friends on their wedding day. It was performed as a prayer during the ceremony and never recorded or performed again after that. During the writing phase for this record, I found it on my hard drive and included it in my song scraps folder on a whim. Michael and the members of The Secret Trio thought it would be a really nice fit for our ensemble. In this recording the original wedding inspiration stays true, only now it symbolizes a marriage of musical styles.”

"Pathways” Lyrics
(Poem by Rainer Maria Rilke)
Understand
I'll slip quietly
Away from the noisy crowd
When I see
The pale stars rising
Blooming over the oaks
I'll pursue solitary pathways
Through the pale twilit meadows
When I see
The pale stars rising
Blooming over the oaks
I'll pursue solitary pathways
Through the pale twilit meadows
With only this one dream…
You come too

This was played on Japanese public radio, NHK, this morning, and I was lucky enough to catch it. Incredible, rich tapestry of sounds, really glad I found out about these artists.

[@YotamIshay]

Instrumentation, Orchestration & Musicianship is king!

[@YotamIshay]

Becca is so bright & folky and it "connects" with the trio, American music & Middle-Eastern from the back door.

[@WolfhandsYouTube]

Becca Stevens... a radiantly beautiful artist with the most tender voice. Bravo to the ensemble. A wonderful, wonderul performance.

[@tentoze51]

Stunning music.

[@mannyhoward2353]

Becca is a rare jewel. A beautiful shining light of music creativity that soars high above the 'norm'. Thank you Ground Up for supporting such a true talent.

[@allmeadow1899]

Thanks for sharing 🙌

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Her voice is Angelic = so talented. I love her tracks: Glory, Harbour Hawk, Halfway, The Eye and Eleven Roses. oNe LovE from NYC

[@albertsuhett]

What wonderful, magic composition and arrangement... I guess I've listened to it more than 20x since I came across it last night.

[@januszo.2180]

oh goo God. the sound quality trumps the internet...incredible performance and live instruments.

[@valarya]

just WOW

[@juanospinamusic]

This is incredibly beautiful!!!

[@brandon-shreds]

Perhaps the most expressive clarinet playing I have ever heard. Absolutely beautiful performance.

[@willywillywillywillywilly]

That is partially due to his vibrato, which is not traditionally used on Clarinet. DON’T ASSUME HIS GENDER, WILLY. Anyway, vibrato. And he- err, he, was doing lots of cool pitch-bending maneuvers thru the lines. Yeah, very nice. Also the tone is unusual - very dry.

[@DanielKinnaird]

This collaboration is magical. Such profound music!

[@Julione7]

Beautiful, astonishing, gracefully...thanks for the great music.

[@janhenkins]

Beautiful, thought provoking, inspiring, an I'm running out of things to label this with. It stopped me in my tracks - I had to listen to it a number of times. Thanks Becca for your absolute genius, and to the Secret Trio for their stunning performance. Humanity needs more music like this!

[@groundUPmusicNYC]

[@Robert_Herring]

[@SeanFenlon]

The Wikipedia page for "Beautiful Music" should link to this video. Wonderful. BRAVA. Bravo. :-)

[@JochenVogel]

Words fail me here. "Beautiful" must suffice.

[@suplementiband]

Love

[@enginkaplan2317]

Truly amazing! 🙏

[@musicman1471]

The perfect match in expression, sound and moment of complicity. Definitely love this a lot 🤗

[@DuyguDemir]

Pure beauty👏🏻

[@drumslessons.greece]

Βecca sure knows how to make really interesting melodies

[@niccolo.g6069]

This is something °-°

[@thaneq]

who else is making music like this? Also, who else COULD make music like this?

[@GK-vj9dz]

they need to do another record.

[@carlosclaptrix]

Magical! Anyone recognizes the scales they play / she sings in?

[@thenerdyhobbit3935]

In verse the melody plays around in _lydian_ scale I guess

[@TheSeeking2know]

Mmmmmm.

[@MatSmithLondon]

Lovely performance. Re the mix, I think Becca's voice needs to sound intense, but nevertheless I found her vocals way too forward, the breath noise way too loud and distracting. Compressor programmed by someone who likes the sound of a compressor - not good - zilch dynamic range when we ALL know there's a beautiful subtlety to her voice. Shame - this and her last video I love online (duet with Maro) her vocals have not sounded tip-top as they are in real life. (esp the Maro duet, really bad room)... Basically I'm yearning to hear some more beautifully recorded Becca-voice.
