Synopsis

Album Description

Three darkly textured pieces for bass clarinet, marimba, vibraphone, piano, organ, violin, and doublebass. Performances by Marty Walker, Amy Knoles, Robin Lorentz, Bryan Pezzone, and others. Adams' recent work tends to transcend his compositional devices--which churn away in the background while the surface shimmers with the simple joy of making sounds. It is compelling, quietly expressive music that seems timeless in its sublimity. "Whenever I hear this music I am mesmerized by something I can only call truth." --Barry Lopez, author of "Arctic Dreams" and "Of Wolves and Men"

CD Reviews

A light-filled world

I. Wood | Fairbanks, AK | 04/25/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It was my great privilege to be at the world premiere of The Light That Fills the World,

as performed by the Fairbanks Symphony in Fairbanks Alaska.

The early spring day was cold, clear and sparkling bright after the soft pastels of midwinter.

The music made perfect sense to me that day, and it still does.

In a word, luminous."
