cds showcase music by 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 professor

(december 22, 2008 - thunder bay, on) 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 music professor dr. aris carastathis has had his music performed in austria, canada, england, germany, greece, kazakhstan, poland, serbia and the united states--and now his works have made their way onto two recently released cds.

new music north, a non-profit organization which promotes contemporary concert music by canadian and international composers in northwestern ontario, has released the cd first recording, which includes carastathis' work halcyons, as well as music by john bilotta, darlene chepil reid, dinos constantinides, patrick horn, piotr grella-mozejko, sylvia rickard, and harold wevers. the cd's cover art was done by chair of the 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 visual arts department, mark nisenholt. 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 music faculty penelope clarke, joy fahrenbruck, colleen gibson, e-chen hsu, harold wevers, and darlene chepil reid have also contributed to the cd either as performers or composers. 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 music alumnus derek oger is also featured on the cd as a performer.

halcyons for oboe, cello, and piano depicts a temporary state of relative tranquility against a background of tension. the warm melodic cello lines blend with the brighter tones of the oboe and the articulated sounds of the piano, creating a mixture of uncertainty, apprehension, and genial contentment. halcyons premiered at weill recital hall at carnegie hall, new york, on june 12, 2000.

music by carastathis also appears in a recently released cd cult figures, by the national classical music label centrediscs, co-produced by the edmonton composer's concert society. cult figures contains carastathis' electroacoustic work full of stars.

"although the true essence of music making is best manifested during live performance, recordings have the advantage of making the dissemination of music more effective through cd sales and through radio and television broadcasts. recorded music reaches an audience much easier," says carastathis. only two months after its release, the new music north - first recording cd has already received public radio broadcasts on cbc radio two and lu radio, and has enjoyed wide distribution through on-line sales.

first recording is available for purchase at the 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 alumni bookstore. an audio sample of full of stars is available at www.musiccentre.ca, where the cd cult figures can be purchased.
