About This Item
Two exuberant, beautiful solo piano pieces the three-movement InchThree Dawns,Inch based on poems by Jean-Joseph Rabéarivelo, and the nine-movement InchBush Radio Calling,Inch written for the music-theater work InchJust Them Walking,Inch by New Zealand's avant-garde theater company Red Mole. Both works are elegantly and spiritedly performed by Ron Squibbs. Peter Garland is a composer, world traveler, musicologist, and writer whose music-often cited as an example of Inchradical consonanceInch-is always informed by his well-traveled ear and strong sense of personal vision. He studied music composition with Harold Budd and James Tenney and maintained long friendships with Lou Harrison, Conlon Nancarrow, Paul Bowles, and Dane Rudhyar. Cold Blue Music has released seven recordings of his work, including InchMoon Viewing Music,Inch InchString Quartets,Inch and InchAfter the Wars.Inch Pianist Ron Squibbs is a music theory professor (UConn) and a specialist in the music of Iannis Xenakis. His previous recordings include albums of solo piano music by Dane Rudhyar and Joji Yuasa. Album Tracks 1. Three Dawns~Movement 1 2. Three Dawns~Movement 2 3. Three Dawns~Movement 3 4.
