Annonce du gagnant du concours de composition Elsie M. Bennett AAA 2022 - USAby Harley Jones |
 |
 Neil Thornock, de Provo, Utah, (photo de droite) a remporté le concours de composition Elsie Bennett de l'Association américaine des accordéonistes (AAA) cette année avec son solo d'accordéon charmant et obsédant, Moon-k'ssed Conifers.Neil Thornock a composé pour une variété de forces, notamment des œuvres orchestrales, électroniques, de chambre et solos. Une grande partie de sa musique est écrite pour sa propre technique de clavier idiosyncrasique sur orgue, piano, carillon, accordéon et autres instruments. En 2019, il a créé son œuvre de trois heures Planetarium pour orgue et électronique. Actuellement, Thornock est professeur de composition et de théorie à l'université Brigham Young à Provo, dans l'Utah. Lui et sa femme Tammy sont les parents de sept enfants. Neil Thornock écrit : "J'ai composé Moon-kiss'd Conifers pour mettre en valeur l'acoustique étonnante et très réverbérante de l'atrium central du Harris Fine Arts Center de la Brigham Young University, un bâtiment qui sera démoli au début de 2023. Les harmonies qui se déplacent lentement et les mélodies souples laissent de l'espace pour que la résonance transparaisse. Le résultat est nocturne et peut-être un peu liturgique."
