Kendrick Lamar doesn’t just make albums, he builds WORLDS. In this first installment of ”Musical DNA,” we break down what I call his ‘Ingenuity of Scope’: the way albums function similarly to a large-scale symphony or opera, with movements, motifs, and narrative arcs.

I’ve always wanted to arrange this song for string orchestra, and here’s a taste. I just recorded a full version of this one and can’t wait to share it with you all. 🎵 @radiohead “Everything in it’s Right Place”

When adapting @chappellroan “Femininomenon” for string orchestra, the original violin solo felt untouchable. It’s already such terrific writing, and it really sets the stage. Following the intro, I love the sound of all the strings, in unison, playing Chappell’s melody. 🎻 solo: Lucia Micarelli

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to recognize a Christmas 🎄 song within seconds of hearing it? I consider myself a real student of Christmas music, it’s some of the best that’s ever been written. Here’s the devices that composers and producers use to make a song sound like Christmas 🎶🎅…

So many breathtaking pieces of classical music were inspired by poetry: Debussy’s ‘Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun’ (inspired by Mallarmé) and ‘Clair de Lune’ (Verlaine), Mahler’s ‘Song of the Earth’ (Bethge) among them. This piece of mine was inspired by the Baudelaire poem ‘Elevation’.

I got a lot of requests to compare these two #TaylorSwift songs. Are “Cassandra” and “Mad Woman” related? This was so fun. Here are my observations… #musiciansky #swifties #erastour #musicreaction

Cate Blanchett, gripping the baton and giving upbeats in TAR like she’s been doing it her whole life! Loved watching her conduct Mahler 5. Upload whole video please 😏 #musiciansky #moviereaction
