Description
From opposite ends of the country comes new music written for and premiered here by the renowned ensemble Collage New Music.
Californian Imbrie’s Pilgrimage calls for flute, clarinet, piano, percussion, violin, and cello. New Englander John Stewart McLennan’s Essay employs the classic instrumentation of piano and string quartet.
These two outstanding creative statements are united by the committed performances of Collage.
(Also listen to Collage New Music on The Music of Louis Gruenberg.)
”Imbrie presents us with a shining, meticulously-crafted sound mobile; McLennan's piece is a forthright piano quintet, so idiomatic that it seems to smell of resin and paste wax."
—Steve Elman, WBUR-FM
