Spectral Sounds is a series of livestream performances exploring the sounds from outside in the real world that inspired composers to adapt and emulate in their music inside the concert hall. Through both archival New World Symphony performances and new recordings, you’ll learn how composers throughout history approached this goal and see how they fit nature’s music into their own style. But throughout the 20th century, new developments in technology allowed composers to analyze the full audio spectrum of these sounds and orchestrate birdsongs, crashing waves and acoustic phenomena with ever-increasing fidelity. From the early baroque to the most modern compositions, these spectral sounds have always been present.
