COMPOSERS CONCORDANCE RECORDS rst release, BALLETS & SOLOS, combines engaging larger recently-written contemporary pieces with solo works. The ensemble pieces are performed by the versatile International Street Cannibals ensemble and are quite varied.
GOOD TIME, by Joseph Pehrson is a fun dance chamber piece with almost a rock beat,
Gene Pritskers A CHALLENGE TO THE DARK is a brooding and deeply intelligent artistic journey into musical poetry and nDan Coopers DANCE SUITE invites jazz and pop rhythms into the nmix.
To contrast these larger works, we are pleased to present two pieces by the prominent
American composer Otto Luening: FANTASIA & DANCE, an engrossing, but also light-hearted romp for solo violin performed by Lynn Bechtold and DANCE SONATA by Luening, another inviting vernacular form for solo piano played by the new music virtuoso Taka Kigawa. Pat Hardishs SOLO FOR PETE is one of a series of written-out pieces for drum set
commissioned by the exceptional percussionist, Peter Jarvis. It uses many striking and
smashing techniques of the trap set. Finally, the extremely challenging solo guitar work,
DEAD SOULS, by Gene Pritsker concludes our music. This piece, played by the talented
guitarist Greg Baker, combines recurrent melodies with intricate nger work, providing a
tting intimate close to our new recording enterprise.
