Woodwinds and brass are vividly exploited; percussion applied with as much subtlety as power.” (Baltimore Sun)â–¸ “I cannot imagine a more powerful mix of words, images, and music....People who know nothing of Massoud or Afghanistan will be stunned by the sheer power of the composition, and people who are familiar with these topics will be reduced to tears....a tremendous piece of work.” (Sebastian Junger, author, “The Perfect Storm,” “A Death In Belmont,” “Fire”)â–¸ “This is very attractive music....Without ever sounding like a pastiche of styles, Gaines' music succeeds in creating its own approachable style, with impressive lyricism....and a real sense of power and purpose” (Records International)â–¸ “Wonderful compositions....” (Bay Area Chamber Symphony)â–¸ “Thank you for writing such beautiful music for the voice.” (Mezzo-soprano Kimball Wheeler, former voice faculty member, California Institute of the Arts) â–¸ “extraordinary talents....highly skilled handling of the large structure....a very talented composer” (Loudoun Symphony Orchestra conductor Mark McCoy)â–¸ “....spiritually uplifting....” (Omaid Weekly)â–¸ “....Gaines has contributed [a] major work which can hold its own against any other modern symphony....” (EsperantoUSA)â–¸ “Great stuff!!” (composer David Amram)David Gaines grew up in Stamford, Connecticut and was a euphonium and bass trombone player in both bands and orchestras (he was principal euphonium of the Connecticut All-State Band for two years), a background that enabled him in later years, as a composer, to champion solo opportunities for low brass instruments. His output includes two symphonies, two euphonium concertos, and a wide variety of chamber, choral, and electronic music. His principal compositions are available on compact discs and digital downloads from MMC Re Hide Description Music For Winds Music | List Price | $11.99 (You save $1.34) | | Category | Classical Albums | | Label | CD Baby | | CD Universe Part number | 7385878 | | Catalog number | 119974 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Jan 23, 2007 |
