“We received scores from all over the world, but one piece stood head and shoulders above the rest [Snapshot]. The melody is constantly varied and developed motivically always with propulsive rhythms and colorful orchestration. The result is a work that is immediately engaging and distinctly American.” David Kidwell, Music Director, Holyoke Civic Symphony " The full ensemble [The Society for New Music] returned to perform this delightful work [Shabby Chic]... alternately playful and lyrical... the instrumental writing was particularly effective taking full advantage of the capabilities of the instruments and the professional skills of the performers ... the melodic ideas in particular were evolved throughout the work with great skill and imagination...a colorful work that transformed simple ideas into elaborate structures echoing the theme of its title." John Bilotta, SCI Conference Blog, January 2004 |
