Sevenfive - The John Corigliano Effect / Gaudete Brass
Gaudete Brass, a quintet devoted to presenting serious brass chamber music and commissioning new works, brings a fresh perspective to music of John Corigliano with an inventive album of brass works by the prolific American composer and his protĂ©gĂ©s. âThe excellent Gaudete Brassâ (Gramophone) honors Corigliano, winner of Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, and a Pulitzer Prize, with world-premiere recordings of his groundbreaking Fanfares to Music for on- and off-stage brass choirs, his stately Antiphon for double brass quintet, and a new arrangement of the Rossini-esque Overture from his popular Gazebo Dances. Gaudete commissioned the title track, Steven Bryantâs sevenfive, in honor of Coriglianoâs 75th birthday, and the numbers seven and five figure prominently in its musical architecture. David Sampsonâs boisterous Entrance opens the program, while his surprisingly restrained Still is luxuriously lyrical. Jonathan Newmanâs Prayers of Steel evokes the Midwest landscapes in Carl Sandburgâs poetry. Jeremy Howard Beckâs ROAR exploits the brassesâ ability to do just that. Conrad Winslowâs The Record of a Lost Tribe summons an imaginary, bygone civilization. All works except Entrance receive their world-premiere recordings on the album.
