MUSICIANS ACCORD - AND TROUBLE CAME - MUSICAL RESPONSES TO AIDS (CD)

Chris DeBlasio: All the way through evening, C. Bryan Rulon: Self Requiem, Laura Kaminsky: and trouble came: "Michael Dash, baritone; Chris DeBlasio, piano; Musicians' Accord: Terry Szor, trumpet; Katherine Flanders Mukherji, flute; Curtis Bahn, computer tape; Charles Tomlinson, bass; Matthew Sullivan, oboe; Ted Mook, cello; Margaret Kampmeier, piano; Michael Pugliese, percussion; C. Bryan Rulon, Conductor; Fidelio: Mark Lamos, narrator; Sanda Achuldmann, piano; Harry Clark, cello; Lois Martin, viola. In this recording, Musicians' Accord brings together works by three composers representing a diversity of musical styles and varying responses to the AIDS pandemic. All three works, along with the many others which have been inspired and motivated by AIDS, attest to the human creative impulse to transcend tragedy, to communicate the unknowable, and to find meaning and expression in art, as in life."
