The Society for Composers, Inc., celebrates the 25-year anniversary of
its compilation album series through the release of Mosaic, a CD
compilation on the Navona
Records label, with music by Margaret Fairlie-Kennedy, Sally Reid, Tasos
Stylianou, Stephen Yip, and others. Allmusic's review excerpt:
"It's not a contest, but the best piece on the disc appears to be Undertow,
a duet for violin and piano by Margaret
Fairlie-Kennedy. Fairlie-Kennedy
has a long career as a composer and apparently began utilizing
serialism early but ran into a wall with it and spent some two decades
in silence. When she resumed, it was with a looser application of her
technique; this piece is still technically very solid, yet it is a
dazzling, complex work that moves in a single-minded direction and has a
definitive impact." See full review here.
