Description:

The writing covers a time span from 1975- 2017. These pieces presented here cover a broad and evolutionary compositional terrain. While early pieces combine both atonal and tonal music, there is a clear progression towards a non-functional tonality that, however, includes many non-tertial materials....All brilliantly performed by Daniel Linder, Fanya Lin, Dana Muller & Gary Steigerwalt -
