Systema Naturae - a musical celebration of observation

The latest in new music performance: Maura Lanza and Andrea Valle's Systema Naturae 3 and 4 - a musical celebration of discovery and the natural world.

Kate Molleson introduces some of the newest sounds in the world of New Music, including this week the concluding parts of Maura Lanza and Andrea Valle's Systema Naturae, one of the highlights of last year's Huddersfield Festival of Contemporary Music.

Taking its title from Carl Linneaus's Systema Naturae, the instruments and performers are themselves treated as objects of discovery. As each of the fifty parts of the work focuses on a newly named fauna or flora, the world of observation and categorisation takes on a musical life of its own.
