MP3 file More information/artist web site Kenji Sano and Jinke Nosa: The Spanish Pavan, Alfonso Ferrabosco? Kenji Sano and Jinke Nosa: My Lord Chamberlain, His Galliard, John Dowland? Magnus Lindberg: "Joy" (1989-90), for large ensemble and electronics Darij Saba (traditional) Ney flute, Syria--from the Virtual Instruments Museum, http://learningobjects.wesleyan.edu/vim MP3 file More information/artist web site O. Hoejer, Erland von Koch: Monolog no. 13 Erland von Koch is the doyen of Swedish music. Born in 1910, he debuted in the 1930s and is still active today.

"I still write, but I'm not as active as I was before. My eyesight is not quite as good, and also I have become more critical with age." MP3 file More information/artist web site Korean classical music, Chung Chung Mori and Chajin Mori: Taegum Sanjo 2 This piece from the Korean classical music repertoire features taegum, a flute, and changgo, a percussion instrument. 'Sanjo is the epitome of a "theme and variations" form. A melody is subjected to an amazing number of variations over the course of several movements.' MP3 file More information/artist web site E. Helling, William Byrd: Pavane and Galliard 'The Earle of Salisbury' The Piano Society web site has many online recordings of piano repertoire. MP3 file More information/artist web site Philip Sheppard: Primary Colours. Sheppard's Electric Strings blog features his ruminations about music and the occasional composition for listening. Cello is his passion. MP3 file More information/artist web site Balinese Gamelan: Buda Winangun by Yuwana Sari of Carang Sari district, Badung "The angklung ensemble features a large number of small metallophones in different sizes, each with only four keys. Because the instruments are light-weight, the angklung is most frequently heard in processions, with the musicians carrying their instruments. The most common ceremonial function is the funeral procession to the cremation grounds. Angklung musicians are also extremely active in creating new pieces (kreasi baru), coming up with ingenious ways to expand the expressive range of this seemingly limited ensemble." There are annual competitions for new pieces and Buda Winangun was one of three winners in 1989. MP3 file More information/artist web site John Bell Young, Scriabin: Mazurka Op. 6 No. 1 Ivory Consort, Santa Maria Amar Laura Osterlund-David Schrader, Sammartini: Concerto in F Allegro Assai The Consorte of SomeSorte: So Ben Me Ch'a Bon Tempo Andrew L. Simpson, Mozart: Sonata No. 1 In C Major, K. 279 - Allegro 1 Simpson has "vanity published" a number of CDs. He would probably be classified as an accomplished amateur.
His interpretation of Romantic composers strikes me as overdone but some of his recordings of classical and Baroque works seem more restrained. MP3 file More information/artist web site Christian Bohnenstengel: Beethoven Sonata, Op. 13, III Balinese Gamelan: Sapta Murti by Kertha Jaya of Abianbase, Gianyar Johann Johannsson: "Odi et Amo" Odi et amo. quare id faciam, fortasse requiris? nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior. Translation:I hate and I love. Why do I do it, perchance you might ask? I don't know, but I feel it happening to me and I'm burning up. MP3 file More information/artist web site Andrew L.
