It was Jones who suggested writing a chamber concerto to be premiered by his friend and mentor, and it was Bjerken-a former longtime member of the Los Angeles Piano Quartet and a veteran soloist with the L.A. Philharmonic and other ensembles-who was immediately hooked. Their plan gave rise to another commission-for the chair of Oberlin's Composition Department, Grammy Award-winner Stephen Hartke-and then another, for fellow composition faculty member Elizabeth Ogonek. The resulting works were recorded in three sessions over a two-year span, with Bjerken joining forces with Oberlin's Contemporary Music Ensemble and conductor Timothy Weiss in the conservatory's Clonick Hall studio, in addition to presenting the world- premiere performance of each piece on campus.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShip Of State: Hanging Breathless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShip Of State: In Spite Of False Lights On The Shore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShip Of State: The Anchors Of Thy Hope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShip Of State: What Workmen Wrought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere Are We Now: I.
