About this product
A striking new debut from the Emissary Quartet, [moment]um explores movement, change, and momentum through a program of contemporary works for flute quartet. Inspired by the Japanese concept of InchJo-Ha-KyuInch - a progression from calm beginnings to rapid culmination - the album unfolds as a carefully shaped arc, moving from the stillness of Herman Beeftink's Frequency to the driving energy of Jennifer Higdon's Steeley Pause. The program features music by living composers including Nicky Sohn, Heike Beckmann, Sung-Hyun Yun, and Kai-Young Chan, while showcasing the unique sound world of the flute quartet. Delicate lyricism, rhythmic intensity and percussive effects all contribute to the album's sense of forward motion. Founded in 2009, Emissary Quartet has established itself as a leading flute quartet, with a strong commitment to contemporary music and collaboration. The ensemble has performed and taught across the United States, appeared at the National Flute Association Convention and Mid-Atlantic Flute Convention, and was among the few flute ensembles ever to reach the live quarterfinal round of the prestigious Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition.

Boxed set containing deluxe CD and double colored vinyl LP pressing. 2017 , the 14th studio album from the Irish quartet. Songs of Experience was produced by Jacknife Lee and Ryan Tedder with Steve Lillywhite, Andy Barlow, and Jolyon Thomas. The album is intended to be a companion piece to U2's previous record, Songs of Innocence (2014). Whereas it's predecessor explored the group members' adolescence in Ireland in the 1970s, Songs of Experience thematically is a collection of letters written by lead vocalist Bono to people and places closest to his heart. The personal nature of the lyrics reflects a brush with mortality that he had during the album's recording. Includes the single You're the Best Thing About Me.
