Julia Wolfe - Fire in My Mouth (2019)

[@saadhaddadmusic]

I heard the premiere of this live with NY Phil a few years back, and it was very powerful as one can imagine. A lot of visual elements happening you can’t see with this score of course. Thanks for the upload!

[@Cmaj7]

Yeah, I saw "Her Story" last year and the theatrical elements (and music) in that were really stunning too! I hope I'll get to see this piece performed as well

[@saadhaddadmusic]

I haven't seen that one! amazing@@Cmaj7

[@akadetrorjk]

What an absolute masterpiece.

I’m studying for a test on the Great Depression right now, and while the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire didn’t take place during that exact time period, it’s still epic and very fitting music. Thank you!

[@AndromedaCripps]

Listened to this while getting dressed today. Phenomenal. It’s written like a film score; the story it tells is so accessible and uses history to teach us about our flaws in the present. Absolutely incredible, full of viscera and glory and modern sensibilities. Gotta check out the rest of her work now!! Thanks as always Cmaj7, you always have the best taste, I can always count on you to upload something AWESOME that I’ll love!!! Edit: that ending moved me to tears. The bells strike directly into your heart with no mercy.

[@WilliamDurrant-ll8xy]

That must have been a hell of an outfit

[@AndromedaCripps]

@@WilliamDurrant-ll8xy ​​⁠Look, I take a long time to get dressed 😂😂😂😂😂 And I did spend about half the time just sitting on my bed trying to read the words on the score off my tiny phone screen….. But no, the subject matter of the piece didn’t influence the outfit 😂

[@antoniaezac4653]

Amazing piece! Thank you for the upload

[@allcats2473]

A month later i'm still obsessed with this piece

[@marekvodicka]

An absolute banger which I would have never discovered if it were not for this channel, thank you, really!

[@celadonk]

Fascinating piece. I tend to find orchestral pieces with lyrics a little heavy handed and this one’s no exception. I LOVE the second movement and how it marries cold, industrial sounds with emotion and drive.

[@genericmeme]

Do you reckon you'd feel differently about the lyrics thing if it were in Latin or something?

[@celadonk]

@@genericmeme Definitely.

[@ethanhcomposer]

Stunning...apparently some of my mentors at Juilliard Summer Composition attended the premiere and absolutely loved this piece. I love it as well--it's making me fall in love with vocal music!

[@TroyJakubiec]

What a fantastic piece!

[@MiScusi69]

Woah. This is some great contemporary classical!

[@liamlenihan1328]

Great piece. Never heard of the composer before. Must seek her out. Thanks for the upload.

[@allcats2473]

Best piece I've heard this year

[@marinadela1361]

Incredible work.

[@sitearm]

wow! ty for posting!

[@qedimovarena7828]

Великолепно! Хор, оркестр - все прекрасно выразили идею произведения! Благодарю за публикацию 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@porterenaud9919]

C'est magnifique !

[@thegoodgeneral]

Cool piece!

[@Scriabin_fan]

First time hearing of this composer.

[@spencerkennedy4033]

Please more Julia Wolfe!! (Next up steel hammer??)

[@luchod9113]

The chord at 45:33🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Eden_Rubin_Music]

from do you bring all of these intersting pieces, Cmaj7? This is way more that Cmaj7 Thank you!

[@GUILLOM]

Fire in the hole

[@EmanuelLopez-2]

Where can I see the complete presentation?

[@lolllololllo]

Does that Italian tarantella actually exists?

[@Cmaj7]

Yes, in fact kzbin.info/www/bejne/ome2qH2GlL-kbrs . I never looked into it before; the lyrics are very appropriate

[@lolllololllo]

@@Cmaj7 thank you!

[@jimrader5299]

different, very grand yet avant

[@jmarkovich]

This is one of the all-time most impactful pieces I've ever heard. However, as much as I'd like to own and study the score, your link doesn't lead to that. It does have a watermarked score to view. And at Ricordi, you can only rent it. So I ask you, in all due respect, unless Julia gave you permission to display this--as much as I'd like to see it- how did you legally get this precious copyrighted score without a watermark?

[@anonymoussource701]

Poor man's John Adams

[@Scrayfish0]

Indeed. And John Adams is the poor man's Offenbach.

[@VincentLenormant]

you should credit steve reich.

[@Cmaj7]

There is the influence but there's plenty of other influence (I particularly sense Louis Andriessen) and of course a lot of Wolfe's own flavor

[@VincentLenormant]

feels to me like reproducing music that was interesting 50 years ago, nothing new here... thanks for the upload anyway@@Cmaj7

[@lightyagami1058]

@@VincentLenormant No one's asking you to listen.

[@VincentLenormant]

i confirm, just like no one asked you to read my comment@@lightyagami1058

[@genericmeme]

a dull comment from someone who apparently doesn't understand how composition works

[@Scrayfish0]

In all the history of Western classical music, there's not a single piece that can't prove it's value divorced from its extra-musical context. This trash isn't one of them.

[@akadetrorjk]

This piece easily proves itself without the historical context. The context only enhances how powerful it is. This is a masterpiece.
