Yesterday, the music publisher Edition Peters announced that it had signed an agreement with Ashley Fure, a composer of ferocious originality and power. Fure joins a roster already enriched by the signing last year of George Lewis and Sky Macklay. Fure's new association starts with four compositions: Bound to the Bow (2016), Shiver Lung (2016), Shiver Lung II (2017), and Therefore I Was (2012).

So to celebrate, how about we all listen to Bound to the Bow?

If the documentation provided on YouTube is accurate, the recording above captures the work's world premiere, presented by the Interlochen Arts Academy Orchestra under the direction of Christopher Rountree, at David Geffen Hall on June 5, 2016. The piece was commissioned for the 2016 New York Philharmonic Biennial, and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. James R. Oestreich reviewed the piece and its performance, admiringly, for The New York Times.

I don't have a clue who gɹinblat might be, but this YouTuber's channel is richly stocked with live recordings of unrevealed provenance. You'll also find what appears to be the premiere performance of Therefore I Was, played by the Talea Ensemble on March 4, 2012 at Tenri Cultural Center (and reviewed by yrs trly for The New York Times), on another channel, presumably related, operated by one grinblat.

Enjoy them while you can.
