#3012: Violin and Cello Plus

New Sounds | Feb 25, 2011

Listen to works for violin and cello, with electronics and without, or with piano or voice on this New Sounds.  There's music from Princeton-based composer Frances White, "The Old Rose Reader" for violin, voice, video animation, and electronics.  It's a romantic work containing stories about all varieties of roses, some famous for having been grown in Empress Josephine's garden at Malmaison.

Also, hear a work by Irish composer Donnacha Dennehy and one by Quebec composer Serge Provost both for cello and electronics.  Plus, hear works for violin with electronics or piano by German ringtone composer Max Richter, and by Minamo - which is Carla Kihlstedt of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Tin Hat together with improviser/composer/keyboard player Satoko Fujii.
