Various Artists - Two Minutes - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The album FOUR MINUTES for woodwind quartet contains 18 four-minute works, written by 18 composers from 9 countries. A woodwind quartet, sometimes casually called wind quartet, is an ensemble of four woodwind instruments, or music written for four instruments. The usual scoring is flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon. The instruments in a woodwind quartet usually have different ranges that allow for rich harmonies with high and low tones. Since these four instruments are from different subgroups of the instrument family, wind quartet music has timbral variety from each instrument's resonance. The composers of the album include Giovanni Albini, Aaron Alter, Jerome de Bromhead, Ricky Chaggar, James C. Danly, Lars Fetzek, Martin Lennartz, Chan Wing Lun, Allen Molineux, Claudio Passilongo, Andrew Sigler, Randall Snyder, José Jesus de Azevedo Souza, Stamatia Statherou, Alan Terricciano, William Toutant, Michail Travlos and Douglas Wagoner.

Jewels from five centuries aptly describes this collection, featuring small pieces of great music, that the a cappella group Octavians presents on their new GENUIN album canzones, motets, folk songs, and pop songs to which the winners of the 2017 A Cappella Contest Leipzig give their own unique coloring. The spectrum ranges from an old Spanish hymn of praise to motherly love to lieder by Franz Schubert and celebrated songs of our time by Paul Simon and Sting. The charm exuded by the internationally successful gentlemen is fully the match of their vocal skills a uniform sound, infectious groove, and sparkling clean intonation are the hallmarks of the Octavians - truly a Inchdeluxe boy bandInch!
