Description:
Musical maverick, George Crumb is one of the most distinctive
compositional voices to emerge in the second half of
the 20th century. A charter member of the “New
Virtuosity" movement, Crumb possesses a highly
intuitive approach to composition, withn an emphasis
on texture, timbre, and line. His Ancient Voices of
Children, a song cycle for soprano and chamber ensemble,
is one of several compositions Crumb wrote based on
the poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca. In Makrokosmos,
the pianist performs on the keys and on the inside of
the piano, as well as performing some light vocal duties!
