Albany Records, TROY 428The Wider View: Love Rejoices" on Now is the Time
On February 13th, from 10 to 11 pm, listen online at wrti.org or on WRTI HD-2 to Kile Smith's Contemporary American Music show, Now is the Time.
Works by David Snow, Wendy Mae Chambers, and H. Leslie Adams will warm
you up for Valentine's Day! The show begins in winter and ends with
intimations of spring. David Snow
shares the haunting Winter for trumpet and piano. The second
movement from the Symphony of the Universe by the always-engaging Wendy
Mae Chambers is called 'Organism.' She wrote for a big-band jazz
ensemble to be recorded in the cavernous Cathedral of St. John the
Divine in New York City, and the results are stunning. The song cycle The Wider View
comes from the romantic and lyrical pen of H. Leslie Adams. Poems of
Paul Laurence Dunbar, Langston Hughes, and others lead to the final
'Love Rejoices' by James Dillet Freeman.
