Greenbaum / Ben-Zeev / Farnum / Bishop- Nameless (CD)
Furious Artisans marks the first recording of works devoted to composer Matthew Greenbaum (b. 1950). The album starts off with the canonic Venerable Canons, for flute & violin. Wild Rose, Lily, Dry Vanilla sets a revealing bit of Emerson's nature poetry. Chaconne by Attrition, written for and performed by Miranda Cuckson is a virtuosic solo work that exposes some of Greenbaum's favorite textures. The album culminates with the epic Nameless, described by the composer as a work of Jewish sacred music, that features three sopranos, the Momenta String Quartet and the Cygnus Ensemble.
