About

The 11 works on this compact disc represent four generations of American composers and a compositional time span of eight decades. In the ensemble repertoire for voice and flute, only Corigliano’s Three Irish Folksong Settings and Copland’s As It Fell Upon a Day enjoy wide recognition; the remaining works are relatively unknown and deserving of a broader audience. The artists comment: “In selecting music for this disc we sought works that define skillful text setting and showcase contrasting compositional styles. Just as American “character” defies definition because of its rich cultural blend, the American musical “style” comprises myriad voices—each distinct in its conviction.” Five of these compositions are world premiere recordings — Martin Amlin's Two Songs on Poems of Anne Fessenden; Kenneth Gaburo's Cantilena One for solo soprano; Braxton Blake's Three Songs on Poems by Marianne Moore; Ralph Shapey's Lullaby; Scott Gendel's Patterns; and Kurt Stallmann's Lumina II for solo flute.

Reviews

This is superb. ... Mimmi Fulmer has...natural grace and a voice that...is always rich and concentrated. In past reviews I have heaped praise on Leone Buyse. I stand by my statement that 'simply p ut, this is how the flute should sound.' ...Anyone who enjoys great American music should find this

This is a welcome addition to a rarefied repertoire, though it makes such a good argument for the medium of voice and flute, that one wonders why there's not so much more music written for it. ...I find the two principal performers excellent advocates for this music.
