Sirens of the Salish Sea: 1. Soundness of the Sea for Violin and Orchestra is the first movement of the Orchestral Suite, Sirens of the Salish Sea and appears on the album Symphonic Chronicles V.1 with 5 international and award winning composers. I have submitted my work that is on this album for your consideration in this year's - GRAMMY® Award. Sirens, was originally composed as a Quintet Suite for piano, clarinet and strings during the during Spring and Summer of 2020 amidst the events taking place throughout our nation and globally, Sirens of the Salish Sea is a metaphor, a reflection of that time, expressed through music and the essence of the Sea. I orchestrated the first movement and I am currently orchestrating the entire suite and will be recording this complete suite in the future.
I am so thankful for this spectacular recording with Miran Vaupotić conducting the London Symphony Orchestra on this Navona Recording and I look forward to recording the entire work, Sirens of the Salish Sea Orchestral Suite.
“.in the symphonic work Sirens of the Salish Sea: I. Soundness of the Sea (‘Sirenes del mar dels Salish: I. La solidesa del mar’), for violin and orchestra, the composer Nan Avant — about whom we have published a magnificent article— seeks to reflect the most difficult moments of the year 2020 through music and the essence of the sea. In love with natural landscapes, Avant exhibits her symphonic lyricism reaching grandeur and emotion, two qualities of her music.” Carme Miró, Sonograma Magazine
