The American composer Gustav Hoyer, born in Denver in 1972, has created a remarkable composition with his 45-minute-long First Symphony.
A dark-to-light narrative covering the nervous uncertainty of the Covid-19 period…it’s hard to suppress a smile at the work’s feel-good finale
BBC
“Hoyer’s music perfectly captures that concept of unease and unspoken danger. It defines the work and gives it emotional power.”
“... a sensitively crafted release ...”
“I found it absolutely compelling.”

About the Music
For the listener, I create music that brings together the rich textures and beauties of orchestral instruments with intricate structures and textures that reward the intrepid listener. Each work is bound together by a narrative structure wherein each music part fits together to make an architectural whole.
For the performer, these works are deceptively challenging. They demand technical facility and musical expressivity. These pieces combine traditional musical lyricism with unexpected turns to create works and performances that will remain with you after the final final notes vanish into silence.
