Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra, Lviv National Philharmonic Orchestra of Ukraine, Polish Wieniawski Philharmonic Orchestra of Lublin, Joel Eric Suben, Theodore Kuchar - Charles Roland Berry: Orchestral Music, Vol. 1

Charles Roland Berry, born in Boston, Mass., in 1957, studied in California with Peter Racine Fricker and Paul Creston before supporting himself in a variety of jobs in the music world. As a composer, he believes in writing music that audiences might like to hear and musicians enjoy playing; as a result, all three works here have the open-air, open-hearted, even na�ve, quality of much American orchestral music, film scores in particular � the kind of �Big Country� sound that one can hear in Copland, Grofe, Harris, Moross and other painters of the wide outdoors.
