Berry / Moravian Philharmonic Orch- Orchestral Music 1 (CD)
Charles Roland Berry, born in Boston, Mass., in 1957, studied in California with Peter Racine Fricker and Paul Creston before supporting himself in a variety of jobs in the music world. As a composer, he believes in writing music that audiences might like to hear and musicians enjoy playing; as a result, all three works here have the open-air, open-hearted, even naïve, quality of much American orchestral music, film scores in particular - the kind of 'Big Country' sound that one can hear in Copland, Grofe, Harris, Moross and other painters of the wide outdoors.

- Olympic Mountains Overture
- Symphony No. 4: I. Water - Taste
