Synopsis

Album Description
"Modern Americana" best describes Bertolozzi's new album of orchestral music whose title track, commissioned for the Bicentennial of the US Military Academy at West Point, commemorates the spirit of those who knowingly perform their duty in the face of personal danger. This includes all who are in uniform, soldiers as well as police, firefighters, rescue workers, etc. "Suite Poughkeepsie" evokes characteristic local scenes from the composer's boyhood hometown; from the majesty of the chapel at Vassar College, to The Soldier's Memorial Fountain to the sweep of the Hudson River, the rich orchestrations depict the poetry of this city. "An Age Will Come..." commissioned for the 1992 Quincentennial of Columbus's landing in the New World is a colorful overture, by turns introspective and exuberant, sweet and powerful.
