About the album

For those of you that have listened to my music in the past this recording may come as a slight shock. You may be expecting dark, depressing music filled with dissonance. On this recording (for the most part) things are lighter and slightly more hopeful. Of course I tried to balance this newfound lightness with moments of melancholy. As always, my love of low clarinets and warm brass plays a prominent role in the orchestral sound of the ensemble. – Ed Partyka
