Synopsis

Product Description
The distinguished composer Carson Cooman writes, The works on this disc date from an eleven year period (1997-2008) and were chosen to create an interrelated program of songs and piano pieces. As a composer who has always believed strongly in the need and importance of music for all purposes and the value of new music in everyday life, these small pieces are something I take every bit as seriously as writing a large-scale concerto or symphony. The overall intent is a life-affirming celebration of the American experience: emotional, physical, and natural. Cooman (b.1982) has an extensive catalogue of works in many forms, ranging from solo instrumental pieces to operas, and from orchestral works to hymn tunes. He is in continual demand for new commissions and his music has been performed on all six inhabited continents.

Poetry in the words and the music

This CD draws you in with the sparkling poetry of Rebecca Forsythe and the enchanting voice of her daughter Amanda. You could imagine the Grandmother song becoming a distinguished pop hit.



Carson Cooman's music adds more poetry. Jeffry Grossman makes the notes speak to us.
