L'Rain - I Killed Your Dog - VINYL LP

Austrian classical composer Joseph Haydn was instrumental in his contributions to musical form. He earned the epithets InchFather of the SymphonyInch and InchFather of the String Quartet,Inch but also contributed many works to the genre of the Mass. On this , eight of his masses have been gathered. Some of these works he wrote for the Esterhazy family, for whom he served as Kapellmeister and court composer. This begins with the Missa Cellensis in honorem Beatissimae Virginis Mariae, which was written in 1766 after Haydn was promoted to Kapellmeister at Esterhaza. The mass is dedicated to the pilgrimage cult of Mariazell, Styria. Rounding out the is one of Haydn's most popular masses, his Missa in tempore belli, or Mass in time of war. The work is also known as the Kettle Bell mass for it's dramatic use of timpani. He composed the work in August 1796 when Austria was mobilizing into war. Reflecting the troubled mood of this time, Haydn integrated references to battle in the Benedictus and Agnus Dei movements. Artists on this work include the Gachinger Kantorei Stuttgart, Bach-Collegium Stuttgart, Oregon Bach Festival Orchestra, and more.

Feld / Husa / Bohuslav Martinu / Fialova / Ardasev - Czech Viola Sonatas [COMPACT DISCS] date 01/20/2017

Vinyl LP pressing. The second album from Brooklyn-born artist L'Rain is a sprawling meditation on her own fatigued world. Heavily blending genres (thus making new unnameable space for herself) including but not limited to gospel, jazz, and neo-soul. Wildly innovative yet strangely familiar, ecstatic but sombre, groovy and ambient, Fatigue is a pendulum of emotion and sound that tests the boundaries of joy and of grief, only to discover their beautiful, messy entanglement.
