David Lang’s Three Birthdays is a deeply introspective and evocative soundtrack that unfolds in eight brief yet poignant movements. Performed by David Cossin, Felix Fan, Karl Larson, and Taylor Levine, the work traces a delicate emotional arc, from the fleeting joy of First Birthday to the stark realization of Disillusionment and the quiet solitude of Loneliness. The piece moves through moments of reflection and tension, culminating in the meditative Three Birthdays Theme (Long Version). With Lang’s signature minimalist approach and hauntingly restrained textures, this soundtrack offers a compelling journey through memory, passage of time, and self-examination.
