About this product

Artists are hardly strangers to working in the wilderness but this project made that a requirement. Student performers from Allendale, Michigan - home to the ever-enterprising Grand Valley State University (GVSU) New Music Ensemble - and fearless composers from across the nation, went back-a-bush to listen, explore, and respond to some of our great environmental treasures. InchIn 2014 we started an ongoing project in which we commissioned composers to respond to our national parks. We then travelled to these parks and performed the music in the lands that inspired it. To date we have commissioned twenty composers and performed in fourteen national parks. This album is a collection of eleven of those works, as diverse and engaging as the parks they were based on Arches, Badlands, Capitol Reef, Grand Teton, Wind Cave, and Yellowstone. The music is deeply personal to the composers, who were each commissioned because of their strong connections to our natural environment. With performances in amphitheaters, visitor centers, lodges, and even deep in the wilderness, this music has reached thousands of park visitors and illustrated how incredible landscapes can impact creative artists.Inch - Bill Ryan, Director The intrepid artists on this album responded in various ways to their park experiences; from being awestruck by the silence and grandeur, to the geological transformations, misty rivers, bird song, Inchperfect mountainousness,Inch stargazing through rock formations, the resonance of caves, a Inchsonic time-lapse of the history of this land,Inch and a close encounter with a bear.

I compose music because I love it. I love melodies, I love singing. And I have found out with pleasure that there is a public out there who is very interested in my music whenever I publish it. That's fantastic! I refuse to just compose music designed to be discovered and understood by future generations. With these words Carlos Guastavino (Santa Fe, 1912 - Buenos Aires, 2000) expressed himself, aware that his art belonged to those who wanted to hear and sing it, reneging on the customary exercise of the composer who seeks to be recognized by the umpteenth harmonic discovery never before tried out. Guastavino enriched the young voice of the Argentine people with his music, giving it a unique and identifiable tone, supporting the tip of his feet in a folklore to which he gave wings to surpass himself. InchCinco canciones argentinasInch (Five Argentinean songs), Op. 10. This work exemplarily shows the most characteristic features of what has come to be known as Ginastera's period of objective nationalism. Namely, the use of folkloric elements and tonal techniques together with other techniques which are typical of atonalism, especially in piano accompaniment. Album Tracks 1. Modinha 2. Azulao 3.
