Composed by one of the Agency's resident composers.

Neil Corwell:  Night Song for Euphonium and Taped Synthesizer (1989) 
A  brass musician's fascination for both synthesizers and composition leads to this tonal work.

George Crumb: "Fantasia. Andante espressivo e con molto rubato" from Sonata for Cello (1955)
A classic work from one of the 20th Century's American music's living legends.

Tristan Fuentes: Conditor alme siderum for Live Musicians and Tape (2004). 
This piece had its world premiere last month, and it's quite lovely.  Composed by another of the Agency's resident composers.
 We hope to see you there! - k.
