Directed by Dale Warland
Reincarnations is a program of five American masterworks and includes one world premier recording (Tom o'Bedlam). 'The Hour Glass' by Irving Fine is difficult and virtuosic cycle, written in a lyrical style just before his 12-tone experimentation. 'Tom o'Bedlam' by Jacob Avshlomov is based on a text about one of the patients of the insane asylum, St. Mary of Bethlehem, in 16th century. Accompanied by oboe and percussion, this powerful piece mimics the nonsense and madness in the text. 'Reincarnations' by Samuel Barber is a set of three pieces which uses James Stephen's re-writing of old Gaelic poetry and includes the absolutely gorgeous setting of 'The Coolin (The Fair Haired One).' All of the works on this recording are demanding but skillfully sung by the incomparable Dale Warland Singers. |
