  • Lior Navok | Contemporary Music Composer | Press

    Official Biography The Boston Globe “Among the youngsters was Lior Navok. His “Nocturne” heard here in its world premiere is fascinatingly scored for small vocal chorus with instrumental enrichment, the piece is a gorgeous tonal landscape. Donaukurier Ingolstadt (DK) Schwermut legte sich nach den ersten Klängen von Lior Navoks Uraufführung “Between Two Coasts” für Streichorchester unaufhaltsam wie ein bleierner Mantel aufs Gemüt und ließ die Atmosphäre im Ingolstädter Festsaal tatsächlich zu einem Raum “zwischen den Welten” werden. Augsburger-Allgemeine Ingolstadt „Between two coasts“ – Mit der gelungenen Interpretation dieses Auftragswerks der Stadt Ingolstadt von Lior Navok verdeutlichte das Georgische Kammerorchester im Rahmen des jüngsten Abo-Konzertes im Theaterfestsaal erneut sein überaus hohes musikalisches Niveau. Rhein-Main.Net Die Musik zu dieser heimeligen Geschichte schuf der aus Israel stammende Komponist Lior Navok. Und während die Meerjungfrau als Schattenfigur über die Leinwand huschte, um das Leben über dem Wasser zu erkunden und den Prinzen zu verfolgen, brachte eine Auswahl von Musikern des Museumsorchesters die fein gesponnenen, aber auch für Kinderohren interessanten und fassbaren Klänge […] South China Morning Post Commissioned for the Silver-Garburg Piano Duo (who played the keyboard parts in this performance with great eloquence), Navok creates magical sonorities from modest instrumental resources with no recourse to repeat formulas during the work’s half-hour run. Under conductor Andrew Massey’s tidy direction, the orchestra produced some ravishing sounds. Music & Vision “Navok is clearly a composer of outstanding potential with a notable and growing oeuvre. … of weaving the shadowed waves for marimba duo and chamber orchestra, was one of the most attractive new works I have heard recently.” a bold imagination. Cape Cod Times Placed between two of the most poignantly expressive semi-autobiographical works in the chamber repertoire – Dimitri Shostakovich‘s Quartet No. 8; and Ludwig van Beethoven‘s Quartet in A-Minor, Op. 132, Navok‘s often surreal-sounding one-movement quartet held its own quite well. He is obviously a composer of imagination and substance who is keenly in touch with the […] Omaha World-Herald “. . . This work is a real winner in every sense of the word. Navok shows considerable technical commend in this solid, well-grounded work, which has a real sense of identity and presence.” The Boston Globe “Sensuous orchestration. . . A longer song cycle from this young composer certainly would be welcome.” The Virginia Gazette Navok has masterfully applied his skills to craft and extraordinary layered work that vividly portrays the endless war between Palestinians and Israelis from the perspective of the small, insignificant person’s point of view. The Music Poignantly evokes feelings of love, fear, hate, remorse and duress. It tears the heart as it gets to the heart […] American Record Guide “The Music is dreamy and utterly gorgeous.” Classical Music Review “Navok’s new CD is the work of a serious artist who isn’t averse to seducing the ear and touching the heart.” “Navok leads a subtle, atmospheric performance.” Seattle Times The second work shot straight to the heart. “Found in a Train Station,” a work for soprano and a chamber ensemble, was written last year by the young Israeli composer Lior Navok. It is based on a note found in a Polish train station, pinned to a baby, written by a mother about to be […] Australian Stage Part of the Opera House’s “Kids at the House” series of concerts and shows designed to introduce young children to various areas of the performing arts, The Little Mermaid is an absolute delight. Designed to be accompanied by a narration of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale, the score by Lior Navok Frankfurter Neue Presse Ein Schatten huschte durch die Wellen Hans Christian Andersens «Kleine Meerjungfrau» besuchte die Frankfurter Oper. Die Musik zu dieser heimeligen Geschichte schuf der aus Israel stammende Komponist Lior Navok. The Boston Globe One new piece was Elegy for the Future by Lior Navok, a work for six players composed in Tel Aviv both before and after Sept. 11. The music is rich in emotion and instrumental coloration, and Navok poignantly evokes a melody from a Mozart piano concerto to make the statement that “the pure is now […] Scene Le compositeur israélien Lior Navok a revisité les aventures de Pinocchio. Une version inédite qui a enchanté La Tour-de-Trême et sera bientôt visible à Neuchâtel et Vevey. ​ Le marionnettiste Gepetto qui rêvait d’avoir un enfant, la fée aux cheveux bleus qui réalise son vœu le plus cher en rendant vivant son pantin de bois: tout le monde connaît l’histoire de Pinocchio. Mais certainement pas dans la version dévoilée début octobre à la Salle CO2 de La Tour-de-Trême. Présentée en première suisse – et ce n’est pas un mensonge! –, la fable mise en musique par le compositeur israélien Lior Navok est racontée et jouée par une troupe composée de trois comédiens, du quintette à vents Eole et du pianiste Alexandre Rion. Cette production originale, née sur l’impulsion du corniste Stéphane Mooser, tourne à Neuchâtel et Vevey après avoir enchanté le public de la Salle CO2. D’étranges badauds, en uniforme d’époque et quelques accessoires à la main, s’attroupent sur la petite scène d’un kiosque de musique à l’ancienne. Soudain, un grillon géant monté sur une tige souple plonge sur ces longs objets insolites. C’est qu’à l’instar des trois quarts du très nombreux public – moyenne d’âge 7 ans – de La Tour-de-Trême, le Grillon parlant ne connaît pas encore la formation du quintette à vent. Aimablement, les membres du Quintette Eole, car c’est d’eux qu’il s’agit, présentent leurs instruments respectifs à l’insecte importun, alors qu’Alexandre Rion rejoint son piano de concert et que Laurent Gendre saisit sa baguette de chef d’orchestre. Lior Navok a en effet confié sa délicieuse mise en musique des Aventures de Pinocchio à une petite formation instrumentale – un quintette à vent et piano. Que la musique commence! Débute alors une escapade enchanteresse dans le monde imaginaire de Carlo Collodi. Une traduction fluide du conte moraliste et néanmoins nuancé de l’écrivain italien, réalisée par Stéphane Mooser, est narrée avec entrain et brio par Benjamin Knobil et ses deux comparses, Salvatore Orlando et Céline Cesa, finement mis en scène par Geneviève Pasquier. Entouré d’une farandole d’astucieux effets spéciaux et de diverses marionnettes – inventées par Christophe Kiss façon Théâtre Guignol –, le fougueux pantin de bois, qui aspire à devenir un véritable petit garçon, a fort à faire pour surmonter les écueils que la paresse et l’avidité présentent à tout un chacun. Alors que son jeune auditoire fasciné l’encourage de ses rires et ses avertissements, Pinocchio accédera finalement à son humanité. Non sans avoir été préalablement la victime naïve du Chat et du Renard, avoir été transformé en bourricot et avoir plongé dans un océan, de bulles de savon, pour retrouver finalement son papa Gepetto dans le ventre d’une baleine. Sensiblement connotée par la démarche narrative et pédagogique de grands prédécesseurs – Saint-Saëns et son Carnaval des animaux ou Prokofiev et son Pierre et le Loup –, la musique de Lior Navok, présent pour le baptême public de la version française de son œuvre, n’en demeure pas moins originale. Un traitement quasi jazzy, ou même impressionniste, de la narration pare la fable d’une dimension onirique, bourrée de fantaisie et d’humour. Bref un petit bijou, à découvrir de préférence avec des yeux et des oreilles d’enfants !

This genre is characterized by its diversity, with compositions ranging from solo pieces to large ensemble works, and styles that span from the traditional to the avant-garde. The horn, with its rich tonal qualities and versatile range, has become a favored instrument for many contemporary composers. These composers are continually pushing the boundaries of what is possible with the horn, creating new techniques and sounds that challenge traditional notions of the instrument’s capabilities. ​ One such composer who has made significant contributions to this field is Lior Navok. Navok’s work for the horn is extensive and varied, encompassing solo pieces, chamber music, and larger ensemble works. His innovative approach to composition has resulted in pieces that are not only technically challenging but also deeply expressive, expanding the emotional and musical range of the horn. Navok’s contributions to the contemporary horn repertoire have been widely recognized and have played a significant role in shaping the direction of contemporary music for horn. His work embodies the creativity and innovation that is at the heart of contemporary music, making him a pivotal figure in this genre.

    GUITAR AND ACCORDION, DUET FOR GUITAR AND ACCORDION, GUITAR, ACCORDION BLURRED FORMATIONS for guitar and accordion Duration: 10 minutes Instrumentation: classical guitar and concert accordion ​ Year Composed: 2002 Written For: Erika Santek-Pircher and Harald Pröckl ​ Commissioned By: Erika Santek-Pircher and Harald Pröckl ​ Premiere Performance: 30 April 2003 Innsbruck, Austria Erika Santek-Pircher, guitar Harald Pröckl, accordion VIEW SCORE LISTEN Program Notes: While composing Blurred Formations , I was occupied with the ideas of ever-changing spots of color, constantly-moving ocean plants, sea anemones and fish shoals. Usually, these visual images fascinate our eyes, as their continuous formation is truly harmonious and somewhat mysterious. Yet, the endless formations are not necessarily easy to catch or view sharply. These blurred formations in their visual sense, intrigued me to search for their sonic equivalence. Through ever-changing clusters, vague arpeggiations and occasional chromatic melody, I tried to translate my images into sound. In some cases the blur is thick and dark, and in some cases thin, light and spacious. Both the accordion and guitar contribute to the clearness and the blurriness of the formations, each with its own unique timbre.

At that time, while living both worlds of classical music and jazz I was aiming for a piece based on the contrast between orchestra and soloist, with strong rhythmic contrasts, changing meters and mood. The clarinet, with its wide range of expression abilities ranging from a soft and melancholic to bold and humorous, was the natural choice. ​ The concerto is written within the traditional frame of fast, slow, fast. Sometimes, the clarinet has a dialogue with the orchestra, sometimes it is part of it. In other times it may feel that there is a friendly argument between the clarinet and the orchestra which is been happily resolved. The Clarinet concerto is dedicated to Sharon Kam.

Most of her poems are full with detailed descriptions, transferring the poems to a medium of picture, carefully painted and calculated. Yet, it is quiet amazing that these poems came from the hand of a woman who lived secluded life, in her hometown Amherst, Massachusetts. A clue may be finds in one of Dickinson’s saying: “To shut our eyes is to travel.” ​ As I approached Dickinson’s poems (which are close to 2000), I found that most of them, even the short ones, are built into a large space. Each poem needs its development time and cannot be rushed or squeezed to a regular song form. In “The Sea of Sunset,” I have let the words, the nature description, and the lazy mood of the poem take me to the picture medium. Adding the murmur of the sea, and the whisper of the wind, I tried to get as close as possible to the picture I saw through the poem.
