BARRETT, Madeline

Madeline Barrett, based in Los Angeles, CA, is a contemporary composer of concert music striving to evoke imagery of nature and foster human connection. Raised in Phoenix, AZ, she often draws inspiration from the world around her, whether it be oceans of the North American coast, the deserts of Arizona, or the softly bustling streets of Boston. In her compositions, Madeline employs a language of interwoven tertian and non-tertian harmonies, undulating ostinati, and diverse rhythmic landscapes, which derives from an eclectic group of influences, from Baroque counterpoint to French impressionism to 1980s popular music to American jazz.
