This thoroughly compelling and accomplished collection of scores is intended for artists who are unafraid to explore new sonic territories. Though essentially tonal and quite listenable, these bold, adventurous works create an immersive, sometimes overwhelming sonic experience of unconventional textures, harmonies, and forms. From the lush, atmospheric writing for harp, voice, and strings in 'A Year in Nagasaki' to the complex rhythms, cascading runs, and harmonically adventurous passages of the 'Arachis Sonata'. From the jazz-inflected 'Bebop Funeral' to the unsettling soundscape of 'Disquiet on the Western Front'. From the rich and evocative, almost cinematic quality of 'Beheld' to the pyrotechnics of 'Fanfare for Organ and Voices'. These pieces are not about playing it safe or conforming to expectations, and will undoubtedly resonate with open-minded music lovers who crave something new and thought-provoking. Revel in the discovery as you immerse yourself in these exhilarating scores.
