| Program Notes | - In this most direct piece of music I’ve tried to mask nothing, and speak purely in every moment. In the close-knit yet harmonically luxuriant Elegy, a single long melody begins in measure one and is spun out through the movement in one continuous song. Tonally pristine, the movement has an intentional British cast. Phrases proceed in long arches, and the sense of semi-cadence ( ‘half-close’) is purposeful, to honor the memory of my aunt, Mildred Barrett-Leonard Friedman, who died at too early an age in autumn 1997. -- Judith Lang Zaimont |

| Review | "Judith Lang Zaimont has been one of America's finest composers for a long time. A new disc showcases some of her more recent and most heartfelt orchestral output. This is all together a very engaging and well written set of pieces by a composer who should be more familiar; something in each piece for players and audience alike and wonderfully performed by an excellent ensemble and a conductor who clearly understands the contemporary genre." --David Coombs, Amazon.com April 2010 |
