About this product

Sonar pulses. Inventing the chronometer. Rotating gears. Vibrating machines. These are the inspirations behind the chamber works on Peter Van Zandt Lane's New Cartography. Boasting an illustrious roster of decorated performers, Lane's second album with Innova highlights what the American Academy of Arts and Letters describes as Inchdriving rhythms, bold harmonic gestures, and whimsical melo-dies... Lane's music is as inviting as it is sophisticated.Inch The opening track begins with a frenetic burst of energy, with electronic pulses entwined with the unique instrumentation of Mod[ular] Ensemble in a musical exploration of the title, /ping/ an IP network utility; a sonar pulse; and the onomatopoeia. Weaving lyrical patterns give way to angular, rocking outbursts. The quintet hits call-bells to signal virtuosic solos interspersed throughout the piece until they find connectivity, culminating in a rich texture of oscillating harmonies and fluttering electronics. Reaching further into the technological past, Piano Quartet The Longitude Problem finds it's inspiration in 18th century maritime navigation. Before John Har-rison's invention of the marine chronometer, navigation and maps were all over the place. The device opened up a new way to determine longitude clockwork-precision making sense of the incalculable sea. The album's title track, New Cartography, Lane relishes just such opposing pathways, pitting rigid clockwork against free lyricism in a surprising finale to Piano Quartet that both celebrates the Age of Discovery and mourns colonialism. Composed while in-residence at Aaron Copland's house historic home, this piece sets Lane's fascination with rhythmic process to a more sentimental sound world, brought to life by the exquisite musicianship of the Atlanta Chamber Players. Peter Van Zandt Lane is a composer with a particular focus on music for wind ensemble, c

Four Corners Ensemble - World Map   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Throughout history, music has overcome culture and borders to bring people together through a universal language. Shuying Li's WORLD MAP-a collection of five mini-concertos for quintet-takes listeners on a journey around the world, opening their ears to music's evolution as an international unifier. Each piece of WORLD MAP focuses on specific cultural events that are representative of different regions of the world. Over the course of the album, LI explores history through the lens of music and showcases her ability to interpret genres and idioms from the globe over. Matilda's Dream brings listeners to Australia with a thematic interpretation of the classic bush ballad, InchWaltzing Matilda.Inch The European leg of the journey is represented by The Dryad, a nostalgic piece inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale of the same name. American Variations takes things stateside with a set of variations based on quintessential American genres, including jazz, ragtime, klezmer, and pop-rock. Korean culture and traditional music are the focus of The Peace House, which draws it's name from the inter-Korean Peace House. Canton Snowstorm gives the album a touch of surrealism with a pianistic depiction of a wintry weather in subtropical Canton. The Four Corners Ensemble performs on WORLD MAP, with each member serving as a featured soloist on pieces LI wrote to represent their cultural backgrounds.
