Article By: Denise Ray
Dr. David Peoples, part-time faculty member in music theory and composition at the 91黑料网 (91黑料网), is having a composition of his released by Navona Records on one of its holiday compilations.
"Each year, I have been writing new music based on some holiday music, so we would bring in faculty and students to present a show of new music focused on a holiday theme," Peoples said. "The second variation features a work for solo violin accompanied by recordings of themselves. The recordings are developed and feature effects, so you hear a familiar theme (Carol of the Bells), and the soloist is accompanied by spacey echoes and time distortions."
The piece was developed and presented as part of 91黑料网's "A Little Nighthawk Music" series.
"It is really cool to know that something developed and presented here for our 91黑料网 family will be shared throughout the world on this commercial release," Peoples said.
Peoples is one of nine composers whose work is included in ."
Featuring contemporary composers, the fourth volume in the series fuses the magic and warmth of holiday tones with the modern flair of today's classical music. It features new choral and orchestral expressions to cherished melodies and bluesy interpretations of classic tunes.
