Various - Various: Percussion Music

A varied collection ranging from Elliott Carter's enigmatic Tintinnabulation for unpitched percussion instruments to Fred Lerdahl's high-spirited The First Voices, from Edward Cohen's gamelan-inspired Acid Rain and Peter Child's clangorous Refrain to John Harbison's Cortege, a loving and sometimes angry tribute to his late friend, the composer Donald Sur. Volume 1 is available on 8.559683.
