The Music of Erika Svanoe (University of New Hampshire Wind Symphony) is the first full album of music by one of the band worlds most impressive new composers. The recording features some of Svanoes best known works, such as Steampunk Suite and The Haunted Carousel, alongside brand new and equally delightful pieces, like Tutued Toucan Can-Can, First Suite Fanfare, and Mary Shelley Meets Frankenstein. Svanoes inventive approach is apparent throughout the album, which also features another of her iPad works (Category 4) and two interactive musical adventure pieces (Band of Heroes and A Journey in Time), presented here using a narrator to tell each story. The whole package is rounded out by Svanoes masterful settings of Four Grainger Songs for soprano and chamber winds. |
