Half way through this performance of Max Richter's achingly beautiful On The Nature Of Daylight, I looked around our NPR Music office and saw trembling chins and tearful eyes. Rarely have I seen so many Tiny Desk audience members moved in this way. There's something about Max Richter's music that triggers deep emotions.
In Daylight, which has been effectively used in movies such as Arrival and Shutter Island, a simple theme rolls out slowly in the low strings until a violin enters with a complimentary melody in a higher register. Richter, at the keyboard, adds a subterranean bass line for added gravitas, while high above another violin soars sweetly, mournfully. With all elements interlocked - and sensitively played by members of the American Contemporary Music Ensemble - the piece gently sways, building in intensity. It all adds up to a six-minute emotional journey that, if you open yourself to the sounds, can leave you wrung out.
"I'm very interested in the idea of a piece of music being a place to think," Richter explained, adding that he had written Daylight as a response to the 2003 Iraq War.
Richter, whose music can't be easily pigeonholed, lightened the mood with a miniature called Vladimir's Blues. Its delicately toggling chords are an homage to novelist Vladimir Nabokov who, in his spare time, was a respected lepidopterist, obsessed with a subfamily of gossamer-winged butterflies called the blues. Richter plays the piano with the practice pedal engaged for a warm, muted sound.
Again in the final piece, Richter counters violence with calming, thoughtful music. His ballet Infra is a meditation on the 2005 terrorist subway bombings in London. It's music about travel, too, Richter explains, saying that he was inspired by Schubert's melancholy song cycle Winterreise (Winter Journey).
In trying times, music by the soft-spoken Richter can feel like a safe haven, a place for personal reflection or a welcoming, utilitarian space to clear the mind.

    Our beginning and ending was never up to us. We are the creation of another's ink. We are millstones in deep waters fighting not to sink. Marbles upon sand trying to find their way. Just sketches on artist page in his power to erase...or to save. Like beautiful monarchs in the sky short lifespan at anytime can be taken away. Myself still swinging from this chrysalis attached to a tree yet to reach full maturity. Briefer than the music in dreams, is being loved; they say love oneself the beginning of, I disagree, being loved by another is the beginning of all things. By words we were created, by words the world was made.

But really you can find much more similar symphonic (or "modern classical") pieces on Jóhann Jóhannsson's "Orphée" album, especially "Flight From the City", which already shows up in KZread's recommendations when you're listening to Nature of Daylight.

    I never listened to "classical music" growing up, and the first time I head nature of daylight I thought it was perhaps some obscure composer resurrected for a modern score. It wasn't though, turns out he walks among us, and he's a gentleman too. The nature of daylight made me cry my eyes out for some reason, and that's why I'll always love it.

    "I'm very interested in the idea of music being a place to think." Interestingly enough, Mr. Richter's "Mrs. Dalloway, In the Garden" is one of my favorite music pieces to meditate to (I put it on repeat/loop and let it take me). I feel like I am thinking huge thoughts, expanding, just following each note as it comes - sort of like a thought. I was thrilled to find this in my KZread feed, and I thank you NPR, Mr. Richter, et al!
