Album Description
Southern Quilt features piano works written by either Southern composers or those inspired by Southern culture. This recording creates a tapestry from the diverse musical styles and human experience that the American South has witnessed over the last two centuries. By integrating the distinct genres of American Romanticism, contemporary composition, ragtime, folk, gospel, avant-garde, blues and jazz, Southern Quilt chronicles the evolution of a rich musical heritage. The album shows the profound influence that Southern culture has had on American music from the Civil War to the present. Many of the compositions on this recording help keep Southern idioms alive in the contemporary music genre. Southern Quilt celebrates both the history and rich culture of the South and the diversity and expressive power of the contemporary composers voice.
