Poetry And Music - George Flynn CD
George Flynn - Poetry and Music New Music composer and pianist George Flynn explores song possibilities with a cycle of nine songs using texts by Chicago poets, "Chicago Poets Sing!" featuring poets Sally A. Kitt Chappell, Art Lange, Kathleen Lombardo, Nina Corwin, George Drury and D. H. Robinson. Chicago Poets Sing! are dramatic duos for voice and piano, in virtuoso performances by Flynn and soprano Leila Bowie. Also included on the CD is American Howl Quartet for clarinet, violin, cello and piano (Cory Tiffin, clarinet; Ellen McSweeney, violin; Daniel Klingler, cello; Nolan Pearson, piano; Marc Embree, narrator) of Allen Ginsberg s poem Howl. George Flynn (b. 1937) chaired Musicianship and Composition at DePaul University (Chicago) for 25 years, and taught composition at Columbia University in the mid-1960s while he experimented and performed in New York with artists of the avant-garde Fluxus Movement, John Cage and Ilhan Mimaroglu. Since then, Mr. Flynn has composed over 150 works in all media, including over six hours of piano solo music, and has recorded and performed new music for many years in the US and Europe. The Boston Globe called Flynns 2011 Tanglewood performance of his "Pieces of Night" "a furiously virtuosic, brilliantly chiseled 50-minute monument to Vietnam-era insomnia, turbulence both historic and timely." Produced by George Flynn and Bradley Parker-Sparrow for The Southport Composers Series.Additional Info: Personnel: Matthew Shipp (piano); Matthew Shipp.Specifics
