Month of Moderns I - The Path of Miracles - Joby Talbot The first concert in our Month of Moderns will feature a single work: Joby Talbot’s Path of Miracles (2005). Talbot – known in his native Britain for film and television scores – uses repetition and ostinato to bring an exoticism to his tonal language that captures the other-worldly quality of this epic journey; the four movements are named for the main staging points along the Camino Francés: Roncesvalles, Burgos, León, and Santiago. The work was written for Nigel Short’s London-based Tenebrae. Talbot’s command of range and texture keeps this extended work alive with ideas and his ability to weave together chant, medieval rhythms, the sounds of four languages, and extremes of range produces a gripping, moving evening of music.
