Anna Clyne, a 44-year-old London native transplanted to New Paltz, in New York’s Hudson Valley, does it her way. The stories her music tells have won her commissions from top orchestras, Grammy nominations, and more than 11 million plays on Spotify, not to mention exposure at the World Economic Forum in Davos. For one key to Clyne’s major new Concerto for Augmented Orchestra, consider this acrostic. Take the first letter of each of its seven color-coded, five-minute movements—Plum, Amber, Lava, Ebony, Teal, Tangerine, and Emerald—and, voilà!, you’ve got PALETTE, the umbrella title of the full concerto. “As part of the creative process,” Clyne writes on her Web site, “I have created a painting for each movement, “exploring gesture, texture, light and dark, color and form—elements that also translate to music.” The canvases are abstract, polychromatic, stylistically of a piece, yet far from alike in impact. A limited edition of prints is available for purchase. —Matthew Gurewitsch
