Steve Reich - Drumming
3/8/2018
"For one year, between the fall of 1970 and the fall of 1971, I worked on what turned out to be the longest piece I have ever composed. Drumming lasts from 55 to 75 minutes (depending on the number of repeats played) and is divided into four parts that are performed without pause.

I like the idea of the Firefish, the idea of being inextinguishable, no matter what surrounds you." - Blake Tyson Performed by Héctor Rodríguez

Sara's Song by Michael Burritt
11/12/2017
"Sara's Song was written in 2005 for one of my dear friends daughters wedding, Sara Sartarelli. When the family originally approached me about writing a piece for the ceremony, I didn't realized they were looking for a work to serve as the processional music. This immediately became a daunting task. I was of course honored to have the opportunity. I believe the short work represents my feelings for the family as well as the emotional significance of this beautiful occasion. Sara's Song is...
