All sorts of music by Lance Hulme, professor of composition and theory at North Carolina Central University. The complex, 3-movement Siren’s Song is played by the Brno (Czech Republic) Philharmonic, the chaotic Wildcat by Wildcat 9 Saxophone Orchestra. Ida Bieler is the unaccompanied violinist in the abstract, contemplative Eternal Flame. Flutist Erika Boysen and electric guitarist John Covach are heard in the frenetic JethroZen. And so it goes through this long @Author:program of lively, dissonant works. Fine playing by all.
