Of the many differences between the nature of musical life in Mozart’s time and that in our own, one in particular probably stands out for today’s composer more than any other—indeed, it makes us a little envious—and that is the fact that in the eighteenth century nearly all music performed then was new music. And so, when the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra planned its 1991 festival in observance of the 200th anniversary of Mozart’s death, a decision was made to carry on the eighteenth century’s commitment to contemporary music by commissioning four Americans to compose new chamber works as homages to Mozart. There was only one informal proviso: that each composer consider taking as a point of departure the instrumentation of a Mozart chamber work.
This title, originally issued on the CRI label, is now available as a burn-on-demand CD (CD-R) or download in MP3/320, FLAC or WAV formats. CD-Rs come in a protective sleeve; no print booklet or jewel case included. Liner notes are accessible via the link above.
