I recently have begun to explore the music of Nico Muhly. His Wikipedia profile describes him as a contemporary classical music composer and arranger. Two loaded words there: "contemporary" and "classical." I aspire to one day have the time and talent to properly unpack them. But, before then, let's listen to one of Muhly's works in this space.
Below is the instrumental composition "It Goes Without Saying" for this week's "YouTube clip for a peaceful weekend." It's a clarinet piece featuring "metallic noises" (including that of a kitchen whisk) and "warm, woody sounds." It's a stretch to call this tune "peaceful" but it's a fun ride.
