About This Item
Mozart's Divertimento in E flat, K563 plays a centralrole in the musical life of our ensemble. It's musicalcomplexity and the depth of expression whichMozart achieves through only three voices areseemingly miraculous it is one of those pieces whichconstantly rewards rehearsal. One simply never getstired of playing it!When the opportunity to record this masterpiecearose, we were faced with the challenge of whatto play alongside it. Our dear friend Rob Fokkenshad written two short movements for string triowhich seemed to fit beautifully with Mozart's music Rob's translucent harmonic and rhythmic styleoffers unique expressive possibilities. The chanceto commission the great Julian Joseph was notto be missed, and his work, Bring it!, wonderfullydemonstrates his brilliance and lyricism, and thesubtly of his harmonic language. We sincerely hopeyou enjoy listening to the music on this album asmuch as we loved preparing it! Album Tracks 1. Dawn Chants on the Umfolozi 2. Limping Song 3. Bring It!~I. The Moves 4. Bring It!~II.
