Product details
Three is a Melbourne-based trio of the unusual instrumental
combination of trumpet, trombone and guitar. As you might
imagine, there's not a lot of extant repertoire for this
intriguing combo, so Three has commissioned four Melbourne
composers to write new works, and also included their version of
Jane Hammond's arrangement of Percy Grainger's Random Round.
Hailed as "an ensemble that plays with great musicality" (Alan
Holley, classikON.com) Three seeks to establish new, cutting-edge
chamber music with a special focus on presenting performances
that resonate with current-day audiences. Founded by three
musicians unified in a goal to diversify and expand the chamber
music repertoire for their instruments, each member brings a
distinctive musical background to the group, with influences
including world music, jazz, popular music, traditional
"classical" music, and avant-garde contemporary music.
The ensemble's debut album, Midnight Songs, pays homage to the
group's roots in Melbourne. Four new works by Melbourne-based
composers are paired with the trailblazing aleatoric work Random
Round, written over one hundred years ago by the city's most
renowned historical composer, Percy Grainger. The combinations of
sounds and textures will surprise and delight.
Duration: 52 min.
Liner notes include program notes and biographical notes on composers and performers.
