Barrera Puerto Ramirez - De Lo Peculiar Trio - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

On the CD Musica Warmiensis Vol. 4, we can discover further sacred pieces from the second half of the 18th and first half of the 19th centuries, performed by church music ensembles active in the historic region of Warmia. Scores from that period were found in the collections of the Library of the Higher Theological Seminary of the Warmia Metropolis InchHosianumInch in Olsztyn by the Reverend Father Tomasz Garwolinski, who is also the originator and main implementing party of the project. These are mostly sacred vocal and instrumental compositions, but also songs and symphonies. The pieces are written for an ensemble known from other religious centres in Poland, including a four-part choir, soloists, a group of string and wind instruments and an organ - a total of from a few to a maximum of seventeen musicians. The album features world premiere recordings of joyful compositions, full of vitality, which - in excellent interpretations of the orchestra and soloists - will certainly again captivate listeners with their radiant tones.

Contrasting music rooted, like American painting of the late nineteenth century, in the European and American tradition Charles Griffes was the first American 'Impressionist' composer while Macdowell took the American landscape and it's scenes as his inspiration.

This new is a project that presents the talent of Abraham Barrera (Keyboard / composition), Giovanni Figueroa and Moises Reyes. It juxtaposes the regional sound of the tuba with the electronic personality of synths and the mixture of regional and jazz rhythms are pertinently exposed. Each theme of 'Ey' TRIO maintains a harmonic structure of wide range that allows improvisation and dialogue between the instruments creating an interesting progression of textures.
