- Description: This is the American Modern Ensemble's second and features the music of American composer Robert Paterson. This album contains seven of his award-winning chamber works and are all world premiere recordings. The sessions were recorded at the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York City, and produced by multi-Grammy winner Adam Abeshouse. Here are a few words about each track... 1. The track begins with police whistles and is inspired by a criminal running scared from the police, and traveling on old Route 66. 2. The track is icy and cold-sounding, but also inspired by Arcosanti, a prototype 'arcology' in the middle of the Arizona desert. 3. Star Crossing evokes the feeling of what it would feel like to travel across the galaxy. 4. Embracing the Wind evokes the image of an Olympic athlete running against the wind. 5. Elegy is inspired by J. S. Bach's cello suites, and contains embedded quotes of Bach's music. 6. Skylights is inspired by the skylights at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in Florida, and is a study in contrast between light and dark. 7. Quintus, is a rock-and-roll inspired, groove-oriented, hyper-intense joy ride for instrumental quintet. All of the tracks are for various combinations of flute, clarinet, violin, cello, percussion and piano, with the exception of one of the tracks, Embracing the Wind, for flute, viola and harp, and Elegy for two bassoons and piano. Info. On Robert Paterson...
