About "Cowell: Hymn And Fuguing Tune No. 10" by Celia Nicklin
Cowell’s Hymn and Fuguing Tune No. 10 unfolds like a quiet meetinghouse at dusk: the hymn’s plainspoken warmth gives way to a fugue of knotty, democratic counterpoint. Celia Nicklin’s oboe traces lines that feel both archaic and modern, a tension between communal serenity and the restless intellect of American experimentalism.
