Price: $33.95 »» More Info / User Reviews / Buy From Amazon.com | | | | Songs Drones and Refrains of Death/Concertino for Chamber Orchestra This disc showcases the virtuosity and lyricism of the two performing ensembles as well as the works they perform. George Crumb,who has created other musical settings of poetry by Federico Garciá Lorca, embraces these texts with a singularity of purpose. Even Crumb's manuscripts are crafted to reflect the words: in some cases the music is set down in various shapes (such as circles). Although the composer often uses a limited ensemble of instruments (rather than a full orchestra), he seems to evoke every possible sonority. In Songs, Drones and Refrains of Death, for example, Crumb deftly uses the sounds of the jew's harp, water-filled crystals,guitars(both acoustic and electric),"altered" piano, and a cacophony of percussion instruments to highlight Lorca's textual canvas. Added to this is a whole world of whispers, shouts, phoenetic sounds, and yes, even old-fashioned singing by the baritone soloist.

It is quite a formidable undertaking to perform Crumb's music, but the Philadelphia Composer's Forum elegantly captures the simultaneous brightness and darkness of these haunting settings. Baritone Lawrence Weller has the perfect voice for this work. This is a remarkable performance. Roger Sessions' Concertino for Chamber Orchestra makes different demands upon its performers, but requires a similar level of musical expertise as Crumb's piece. This Concertino doesn't involve unusual performance techniques like Crumb's does, but Sessions treats each player as a soloist. Wind players are asked to play multiple instruments, augmenting their challenge.

I thought to write a book entitled: "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow." How
much is buried in the wreckage of yesterday--how uninteresting today is
and how little is to be done--our burden we shift to the strong, young
shoulders of tomorrow; tomorrow of the big heart, who in kindness hides
our sorrows and whispers only of hope.

Guitarists will be interested to know that although Mozart never wrote for the guitar, his generation saw the classical guitar's formative years. During the period when Aguado, Giuliani, and Sor were creating their great works for the guitar, Mozart was the premier composer. His influence on their work is unmistakable.
I've enjoyed performing these arrangements in concert, and welcome the opportunity to share them with my fellow guitarists."--Charlie Byrd
"Beautiful, effective transcriptions! Mozart instilled these waltzes with the charm of country dances, and now they gain a particularly intimate flavor on the guitar. Concert quality arrangements, well within the reach of most guitarists' abilities.
I've had the pleasure of playing these transcriptions in many joint performances with my friend and colleague Charlie Byrd."--Carlos Barbosa-Lima
Every guitarist should have Mozart in his repertoire, and what better source than seven wonderful Charlie Byrd transcriptions. Charlie Byrd honed his craft in master classes with Andres Segovia, and he enjoyed an award-winning career as one of America's best-known instrumentalists.
Available for the first time on guitar!
There is really only one word for these waltzes--delightful. Each is a lesson in form, harmony, and simplicity. Charlie Byrd's personal fingerings, refined through countless performances, are a revelation. The result: seven waltzes that are a joy to perform.
