About this product

My symphonic suite Roundings was commissioned by the Amarillo Symphony to celebrate it's 75th anniversary. The suite was premiered movement-by-movement throughout the anniversary season, and it received it's first complete performance on 8th April, 2000, by the Amarillo Symphony under the baton of it's music director, James Setapen. The Prologue, InchHymn to the EarthInch sets the stage for all that follows. A disarmingly simple piece, it consists entirely of slow chords which move in whole steps. These chords set up relationships which are explored in each of the following movements. Windmill depicts the motions of the wind, the wheel and pump which harness the wind, as well as a calling out for water. Oil Well has a main theme the shape of which constantly reaches for successively deeper pitches, mirroring the actions of an oil rig Sounds such as iron pipe and chains add to the description of drilling. The middle section suggests the upward flow of oil once the oil-bearing layer has been reached Locomotive commemorates the importance of the coming of the railroad to the establishment of a community in inland portions of the United States. The music describes the sound one hears at the depot as a passenger train approaches, comes to a halt, empties it's passengers and cargo, then departs, slipping into the distance. Lariat paints a picture of an old cow herder bragging of his skills with the rope to his younger colleagues, as fragments of cowboy songs, and eventually two complete songs, are sung around the campfire. Plow quotes an old Presbyterian hymn tune, entitled Dresden (InchWe plow the fieldsInch). It also utilizes the celebrated Dresden Amen. The movement presents three statements of the hymn tune, each varied from the other. The second statement portrays the repetitive physical labor of plowing, and the final statement uses expanding and contracting instrumen

Finally, Benjamin Britten's Sonata in C, Op. 65 Marked the Beginning of a Productive, Creative Friendship with Rostropovich That Was Established, Despite Many a Problem Posed By the Cold War, in Aldeburgh in 1961 When Performed By the Composer and Rostropovich.

Written around 1740, this collection of Sonatas was likely composed to celebrate the arrival of the illustrious Salvatore Lanzetti, an incredible cello virtuoso, at the official court of Turin. It was at this noble destination that the fifty-year-old Giovanni Battista Somis, forefather of the Piedmontese school of violin that included the most famous interpreters of Italian music, wrote these works and elaborated upon his compositional idea of extreme elegance that differed from the works being composed by his peers. Here, the works are recorded by Ensemble Il Continuo, which consists of Gioele Gusberti, Claudio Frigerio, and Marija Jovanovich, all renowned soloists and chamber musicians in their home countries. Album Tracks 1. XII Sonate a Violoncelo Solo 2. Sonata IV in Re (Minore) 3. Sonata I in Fa Maggiore 4. Sonata III in Sol Maggiore 5. Sonata VIII in Mi Minore 6. Largo 7. Sonata VII in Si Minore 8. Sonata II in la Maggiore 9. Sonata X in Mi Maggiore 10. Sonata XII in Si Bemolle Maggiore 11. Sonata XI in Mi Bemolle Maggiore 12. Sonata V in Sol (Minore) 13. Sonata VI in Re Maggiore 14. Sonata IX in Sol (Minore)
