Synopsis

Album Description

After demonstration blasts upon the shofar, Andrew Glendening's trombone quartet launches into Call of the Shofar--a double fugue on themes from Jewish liturgy, punctuated by mock shofar calls. Libor Dudas plays the rapid harpsichord toccatta Summer Mischief, and then Pieter Blonk is heard playing the work Sh`mah upon the Albany City Hall Carillon. In Rooster's Court Ball, Michael Laderman plays a six-movement flute partita, each baroque dance whimsically attributed to a different animal. The Czech Chamber Players finish with Kabala, a daring work for clarinet, viola, and piano.

CD Reviews

Kabala is K-Dynamite!!!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"KABALA, Matthew H. Field's most recent release, is a true treasure. Nestled within the compact disc recording you will find CALL OF THE SHOFAR, the hit of the album. I have never heard such an exquisitely crafted composistion for trombone quartet. I am especially fond of the roundness of the second and third tenors, the sumptious bass trombone playing from a sure to be "up and comer", and of course the masterful virtuosity of Andrew Glendening. I wish this quartet would record more works, for they are truly outstanding as a balanced and blended ensemble. The next best song is the title track, KABALA. All in all, KABALA is a masterful disc with several eclectic listening interests. Just remember --- K stands for KABALA...and the trombone quartet (nestled in the foothills of Eastern Appalachia) is for sure the PRIDE OF THE MOUNTAINS!!! Hope everyone enjoys this disc as much as I did!!"

"My favorite is the Rooster Court Ball: an excellent display of Dr. Fields' talents in using traditional modalities for modern expressions. I particularly appreciate, though, his placing the Shofar before the trombone piece so that one can hear rather than simply imagine the different sonorities."
