"Still Life, in Brief" read by the University of North Texas Symphonic Orchestra, J. Calloway Cieslak, conductor.
While writing this piece, I was particularly drawn to the idea of combining my love for the abstract with my love of the Romantic. There are several moments of what might feel like sentimental or reminiscent to an older time; the colors, harmonic material, and the way I’ve used the instruments come from familiar places, but they are more like memories than concrete objects. In some way, it is like trying to combine an Agnes Martin with a Vilhelm Hammershøi; an effort to be abstract, but poetically tangible and subdued.

This music is a miracle, perfection. Expansive in its simplicity and beauty. I can return to it again and again, always hearing something different enfolding me. Larry Looney

Ann Southam was one of the great minimalists and Eve Egoyan is a great pianist - and they worked closely together, making this a must-have album. clementkent
