In his travels
across the United States, composer Kevin Olson has been particularly
struck by two things: the rich diversity in culture, and the amazing
variety of natural beauty in the different regions of the country. In
River Rhythms, Olson has combined both elements, portraying musical
styles of these areas that are reflected in the rivers that run
through each of them. Includes: Shadows in Salt Creek
(Chicago); Hudson River Echoes (New York City); Blues on
the Mississippi (New Orleans); Salsa on the Riverwalk (San
Antonio); and Colorado River Rafting (Grand Canyon). |

Sonatina of the
Old West |
FF1418 / 4.50 |
|
|
Intermediate
This western
style, four movement sonatina, truly captures the spirit of the
pioneers who settled in the Wild West. The first movement Roundup
on the Ranch, is full of energy and spirit that leads to the
second movement, Ballad by the Campfire which is slow and
expressive in an ABA form. Movement three, Dance in the Town Square,
is fun and festive in a quick triple meter, emulating the sounds of
fiddlers tuning up for the dance. The final movement, The Train Robbery,
is dramatic and suspenseful achieved by a steady pulse of eighth
notes throughout.
