ENTRANCES AND EXITS, my eighth CD on CDBaby, centers around my new "Piano Sonata No. Five, 'The Stages of War.'" Its seven movements chronicle a devolution from angry accusation to its nadir in utter desolation. In its downward spiral, the music passes through stages of questioning, delusion, moves then from military preparation to invasion, and on to exhaustion and a numb victory. Without a doubt, it is the most violent and tragic music I have composed -- even when placed beside my "Piano Sonata No. 3, 'In Time of War,'" from late 2001.Bracketing the piano sonata are four works of far less weighty intention. Although the "Intrada on a Motif of Philip Glass" that opens the CD is based on the seventh movement of Glass' "Koyannisqatsi," -- a work of serious import whose title comes from a Hopi word meaning "life out of balance," -- my use of the three note motif results in a march that is ceremonial and triumphant rather than war-like and threatening.The "Musical Reflections on Three Haiku" that follows "Intrada" is an instrumental "translation" of three haiku poems I wrote over a period of several decades.

"A composer's composer, a musician's musician, Gaudencio Thiago de Mello remains one of the best kept secrets in both the Jazz and Brazilian contemporary scenes. I cherish his first album, “The Music of Thiago” - (AMAZON) - recorded in 1973... at the famous Sound Ideas Studio in New York City. It's... a very special jewel."Arnaldo DeSouteiros, Tribuna da ImprensaRio de Janeiro, Brazil____"...His compositions...are beautiful. But they are also gentle, hypnotic, bewitching and beguiling."The Boston GlobeUSA____“Five are the essential elements of Life: the Air, the Planet, The Water, The Fire and Ithamara Koorax’s voice!”.Armando Nogueira, journalistTV Globo, Rio de JaneiroBrazil__The Critics Speak...As COMPOSER:"I have been a performing musician for a quarter of a century and have had the privilege to tour the world wearing different musical 'hats'. Hundreds of concerts and few that are spiritually memorable. I can count on one hand the musical collaborations that have the spiritual effect on me that Thiago's artistry has had. Thiago's art is sincere and pure; his gifts speak from the heart of goodness. The world would be a more peaceful place if the folks that live on it were exposed to what Thiago is trying to communicate. And, I have no plans to buy any armor in the near future! Thank you, Thiago and God Bless."Bil JacksonPrincipal Clarinet, Colorado SymphonyArtist-Faculty, Aspen Music FestivalArtist-Faculty, ...
