Brady: Symphony No. 3 'Atacama'

Atacama Symphony No. 3 is a new work by Montreal-born composer Tim Brady performed by Bradyworks, VivaVoce Vocal Ensemble, and the composer himself at the electric guitar. The composer’s initial inspiration for the piece was a book of poems by Chilean-born poet Elías Letelier. Each of the first five movements focuses on one poem and on one central musical idea, albeit with many variations. The final movement is more like a suite, using three poems and moving through several different musical landscapes.
