Title of CD: Amalgama (2000)
Performers: Joan Roig, Ireneusz Jagla
Recording company: Ona digital
Distributor: Casa Marti C/Reina Esclaramunda, 3, 4 y 5 07003 Palma de Mallorca, Illes Baleares, Spain
Email: anmago3@teleline.es
Amalgama is an assortment of works written for piano and chamber music. Composed between 1985 and 1993, one may appreciate the evolution of the composer’s creativity. It begins by using tonality in a semi-academic sense, going through the phase of impressionistic influence and ending with characteristic timbres typical of the close of the twentieth century. The name Amalgama means to collect a barrage of styles, harmony, forms, and timbres as well as instruments. However within this format there are two common points of reference. First, the strong presence of melody in every work; secondly, the consisitent use of the piano, an indispensable instrument for my music. Josep Prohens Juli�

Ancient Evenings and Distant Music
for woodwind quintet
Manduca Music Publication: 40223
Composer: Jack Gallagher
Title of CD: Solaris American Quintets (2000)
Performers: Solaris woodwind quintet
Recording company: Capstone Records CPS 8677
Distributor: Capstone Records 252 DeKalb Ave. Brooklyn, NY 11205
Ancient Evenings, premiered in 1971, evokes the dual-and historically intertwined-genres of the dance suite and the variation set. Prologue introduces the melody that the following eight movements will vary in accordance with their individual dance characters. That melody is most recognizable in Forlane, the boisterous March, and Siciliano, which true to its tradition in the French suite, conveys the dignity of restrained sadness. The melody clowns in Burlesca, move dissonantly among the oboe and other instruments in self-parody. Scherzo continues the joking, but strikes the ear as less cynical, an impression strengthened by its light-hearted closing. Following the equally good-natured, bird-like Danza is Arioso, a lyrical movement suggesting singing, that balances the preceding three movements with reflection. Toccata, with fugue-like elements, brings the suite to a bustling close. Brooks Toliver
Unfinished Portrait of George Washington: A Patriotic Medley
for piano
Manduca Music Publication: 10101
Composer: Seymour Bernstein
Title of CD: Familiar Melodies Transcriptions, Variations, Fantasies (2000)
Performer: Joseph Smith
Recording company: Brioso Recordings
Distributor: Brioso PO Box 832 McLean, VA 22101-0832
Web: www.brioso.com
The Unfinished Portrait of George Washington uses songs as material for a collage: The Star-Spangled Banner, Hail to the Chief, The Battle Hymn of the Republic, Columbia, and America the Beautiful. The tunes are fragmented and superimposed on one another. Even when the piece climaxes in a completed presentation of America the Beautiful, its phrases are festooned with ribbons of other melodies, fanfares and scales evoking Fourth of July fireworks. Joseph Smith

Douglas Hill was awarded an Emily Mead Baldwin Bell-Bascom Professorship in the Creative Arts through the auspices of the Arts Consortium of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Combined with this high honor was a grant to be used to continue research and scholarly activities focusing primarily on his musical compositions. Professor Hill chose to use this funding to create a double CD…Each CD contains a wide variety of styles and mediums and amply demonstrates Hill’s eclectic compositional output from the late 1970’s to the present. All but one of the recordings took place on the U. W. campus. Intrada is based loosely on the initial motive from the Nimrod movement of the Enigma Variations by Edward Elgar. Reflections is meant as a rather theatrical soliloquy reflecting upon memories of a lost relationship. Song Suite contains a jazz waltz, a ballad in Latin style, a perpetual motion movement, a love-torn ballad, and a blues movement. Proceeds from the sale of this CD collection will be used to support the School of Music scholarships.
