Ned Rorem writes:
“Book Of Hours was composed in Yaddo and Nantucket between March and July of 1975. The work was premiered in Alice Tully Hall on February 29, 1976 by Ingrid Dingfelder and Martine Geliot, by whom it was commissioned and to whom it is dedicated. The present recording was made by them three days later...
"My intent was no more and no less than to concoct a gracious vehicle for the two instruments, setting them in relief both as individuals and as a married pair. Today, at a distance of two years, I hear this music as a garland of muted prayers uttered during a long day of rest between two massive efforts.
Bohuslav Martinu's Trio, scored for flute, cello and piano, is in three movements and might be classified as a sonatina. As in most of Martinu's work, the frankly traditional format is offset just enough to make the work distinctive. The offsetting is done by means of gently piquant harmonic changes conveyed in a smoothly interwoven musical flow. The first movement is a dashing, sprightly allegro, and second an extended song, the third a vivace introduced by a pensive flute solo.
This title from the CRI LP back catalog has been carefully transferred from the original master tape, and is now available from New World Records as an on-demand CD (CD-R). It can also be downloaded in MP3/320, FLAC and/or WAV format(s).
We have preserved the original CRI LP catalog number for this title, preceded by the prefix NWCRL, to distinguish previously unavailable back catalog titles from those later reissued by CRI on compact disc.
***Please note that the newly-digitized CRI LP titles are priced at $12.99 (multiples excepted) and are not included in any of the special offers.***
