Trumpets and trombones twist through dense pockets of sound in Lucia Dlugoszewski "Angels of the Inmost Heaven"; the voice of a lone guitarist punctures the silence in James Fulkerson's "Patterns" II and VII; flute, bassoons, viola and vibraphone are intended to "turn some dancers on" in Carman Moore's "Youth in a Merciful House"; and a guitarist laments to the hum of an Elizabethan-type string and woodwind consort in Stanley Silverman's "Planh." This is a thoughtfully balanced collection of new music composed during the 1970s.
