Carl Vine

      

Works    
 

'Carl Vine writes Big Tunes. More: he scores them with Technicolor richness … his music is rhythmically cogent (I was occasionally reminded of Roy Harris or of Copland) and makes frequent use of ostinato … some of his most striking effects are in fact quite complex, with richly embroidered polyphony and multiple ostinatos that enable the music to move at two different speeds at once. There is abundant floridly ornamental melody, but beneath the tendrils the melodic substance is often quite simple, even innocent …'

Gramophone




Biography

Carl Vine first rose to prominence as a composer of music for classical dance, with over 20 scores to his credit. He has since emerged as a major orchestral composer with six symphonies and seven concertos heading the catalogue, and his music for solo piano is played regularly around the world. He has an impressive catalogue of chamber music, complemented by various work for film, television and theatre. In his role as Artistic Director of Musica Viva Australia, Carl is also Artistic Director of the Huntington Estate Music Festival, Australia's most prestigious and successful chamber music festival.
