This episode of Composer’s Voice features Alyssa Reit, a multifaceted composer, arranger, performer, teacher, and storyteller!

Her main body of work has been creating theatrical-musical settings of myths, classic stories, and fairy tales; her settings have been performed at such venues as the Caramoor Center for the Arts, and NYU Steinhardt's storytelling series, as well as a critically acclaimed tour at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2005. Other highlights include several commissions of H.C. Andersen fairy tale settings for the NY Scandinavian Summer Music Festival (and a collaboration with flutist Sato Moughalian to arrange and record traditional Armenian folk music (Oror).) Alyssa's compositions and arrangements have been played at events sponsored by the Philadelphia Orchestra, Carnegie Mellon University, and the Greenwich Symphony, as well as at festivals all over the world, most recently at the Encontro International de Cordas in Brazil and the Ottawa Chamberfest in Canada.

Alyssa was on the faculty of Hunter College and the Pre-college division of the Manhattan School of Music for over twenty years. She currently teaches from her private studio in upper Westchester.

In 1998 Alyssa was honored as "New Yorker of the Week" for her work with setting theatrical pieces for schoolchildren in the Woodlawn neighborhood of the Bronx.

Composer's Voice showcases full contemporary works by musicians who champion new music from living composers.

Call for Scores

Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame featuring violinist Orest Smovzh

Vox Novus is calling for one-minute pieces composed for solo violin.

The theme to this Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame is for anything relating to punk music. For Orest Smovzh, the possibility of short works resonates with the raw simplicity of earlier punk and no wave music (the late 70s early 80s), also some later noise music (specifically Japanese of the 90s). He often describes these pieces as works that "resist elaboration, compress dramaturgy, or freeze in a brief moment". Orest also usually calls them "condensed music"

Deadline for works is December 6th, 2024
