Marko Mihevc
Composer of orchestral and vocal-instrumental music, one of the most prominent Slovene composers of symphonic poems in recent times. "The music of Marko Mihevc is often conceived in a programmatic way without actually narrating a definite story. It is more a question of a dramatic impulse and a deliberate concept of how to use musical elements. These appear in multi-layered shapes; motivic simplicity, based on contemporary structures of a tonal and modal nature, is interlaced with the newest musical devices such as sound surfaces and a novel treatment of tonal timbres. And yet the listener gains the impression that this music moves within accessible and apparently well established spheres. Mihevc's interest in the music of oriental cultures is noticeable in his use of texts from the Old and New Testaments, together with the concept of modes characteristic of the oriental tradition."
