About
This recording features three recent chamber works: In Scenes from the Poet's Dreams (composed for the performers who play it here), the piano left hand (virtuoso Gary Graffman) takes a prominent part in the unfolding of this highly contrasted work, bearing unusually descriptive titles: 'Racing Through Stars', 'Summer Shimmers Across the Glass of Green Ponds', etc.
Light Refracted is a meditation on light. The composer describes a first movement "that reflects on our inner light, and how we take that light in; and a second movement that is the opposite, our projection of light out to the world."
She also writes about An Exaltation of Larks: "The first time someone told me that a collection of Larks is called ‘Exaltation’, I immediately thought, 'What a sound an exaltation of larks must make!' - How to capture the beauty of the idea of exalting and singing? A string quartet seemed perfect!"
This disc marks the debut of the Lark Quartet on Bridge.
