Collection: Contemporary music Signum Records is proud to release its first volume of music devoted to one of Britain's best known composers Michael Nyman. The Zoo Duet perform music for two pianos.
Nn one has played a greater role in bridging the divide between the worlds of classical and popular music than Michael Nyman. He has combined Purcell and Mozart, 1950s rock ‘n’ roll, ancient Sumerian quasi-feminist texts, Queens Park Rangers Football Club and innumerable other diverse musical and cultural sources to produce a style of composition which is romantic, eclectic, occasionally chaotic, but uniquely his own.
Like the best classical, jazz or pop music, Nyman’s output does stand up to closer analysis, but the secret of its appeal lies not in the field of academic, but rather in its ability to speak to a large and culturally diverse audience.
Taking a Line for a Second Walk began life in 1986 as an orchestral work from the Houston Ballet. The Water Dances, originally written for Peter Greenaway’s film Making a Splash and appearing here in its five-movement form for the first time, is in part derived from a chord progression taken from a Monteverdi madrigal.
Michael Nyman has demonstrated that it is possible to write progressive and challenging new music without alienating a large part of the classical audience while attracting an even broader rock- and pop-orientated public. |

Collection: World Music Credo is a multimedia musical theatre project produced by Fabrica Musica in co-production with the Staatstheater of Karlsruhe. The project, which focuses on the theme of ethnic and religious conflicts, obtained the support of the European Community in the context of Culture 2000.
Credo has been realized also thanks to the special contribution of young musicians, selected by Fabrica in those countries where the central topics of the project are particularly relevant. These musicians played live, connected via satellite, from the cities of Jerusalem, Istanbul and Belfast, for the eprformance in Karlsruhe (Germany) on April 30th 2004, together with the Badische Staatskapelle of Karlsruhe.
This collection contains pieces the musicians conceived and played for the première. |

Subcollection: ChoralThe first Michael Nyman Band Album originally released in 1981
Includes first recording of In Re Don Giovanni
Beautifully packaged in a 6 panel digipack and including two limited edition posters of the the original UK and Japanese LP artwork.
Critically acclaimed as Nyman’s groundbreaking record that combined minimalist, experimentalist music and jazz improvisation for the first time, this album has only ever been available on the rarest of long-since deleted vinyl.
Most of the music on Michael Nyman was material from the early films by Peter Greenaway such as "Bird Anthem" (Act Of God) and "Bird List Song" (The Falls). The album also includes his first concert work for the band, "In Re Don Giovanni" which was released as a single on Les Disques du Crepuscule (home of Cabaret Voltaire, Durutti Column and Josef K amongst others) under the title Mozart. The most groundbreaking track on Michael Nyman, however, is "Waltz in F", a piece Nyman wrote for art students whilst teaching at Trent Polytechnic in 1977, Nyman subsequently commandeering two modern jazz improvisers, Evan Parker and Peter Brotzman, to "destroy" this piece. Ultimately, Parker and Brotzman ended up playing over and around ten separate tracks whilst Nyman and Cunningham mixed in their Waltz.
