I am honored when composers contact me to share their work. Today was happily such a day, as I received an email from Brazilian composer Fabio Costa. He saw some of the H-Pi YouTube videos and wrote to share a microtonal work of his that is posted on YouTube. The piece is called "Meditation", which is excerpted from a larger work called "Meditation and Psalm for the Earth", for which Costa was awarded the 2008 Claudio Santoro Prize. He is working with Just Intonation, apparently doing some rather arduous manual retuning using Pro Tools. I find the piece quite beautiful and expressive; listen and watch the score below. Thanks for sharing, Fabio!
