Commissioned by lOrchestre symphonique de Montréal, Hatzis's The Isle is Full of Noises (2013) is a fascinating work inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest and the biblical allegory of Eden. Hatzis traces a regressive history of music as the trajectory of the work. The work begins with textural extended techniques and gradually transforms into melody and harmony, nodding to influences from Debussy and Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream along the way.
