Synopsis

Product Description
The Munich-based American composer
Gloria Coates is best known as a
symphonist, though she has also
composed nine string quartets as well as vocal and chamber music. Her String
Quartet No. 9 opens with unworldly
sonorities, glissandos, micro-tonalities
and other unusual colours which develop by means of a mirror canon. In contrast, the Sonata for Violin Solo sets immense technical demands, particularly in its use of multiple stops beneath the lyrical fragments. Taking its subtitles from phrases within Emily Dickinson poems, her Lyric Suite for Piano Trio is a captivating mix of melodic gestures and spectral harmonies.
