AGP 97

DONALD ERB

AGP97 features works by Donald Erb, an American composer from Youngstown, Ohio. Erb is noted both for his masterful orchestrations (in fact, he was tapped by the Encyclopaedia Britannica to write their article on orchestration) and as one of the first composers to write for a chamber ensemble with synthesizer (in "Reconnaissance", included in this installment). The synthesizer attracted him as a way of combining electronic and instrumental sounds while preserving the "give-and-take quality" of a chamber ensemble. And in "Reconnaissance", there is much finer interleaving of electronic and acoustic sounds than is typical in such compositions. The synthesizer in this performance is played by Michael Tilson Thomas.

Reconnaissance [17:17]
In No Strange Land [17:04]
Symphony of Overtures [16:03]
The Seventh Trumpet [10:37]
Concerto for Solo Percussionist [12:17]
Three Pieces for Brass Quintet and Piano [7:45]
