Genre: Orchestral

CON MOTO, VOLUME 1 is a new series of digital releases featuring unreleased works for orchestra. Included on this volume are the modern orchestral compositions of J. Windel Brown, Jerry Sorcsek, William Prince, Robert Ehle, Eric Funk, and Mitch Hampton. All of the pieces on this release are completely original, contemporary compositions for orchestra and solo instruments.

On TRIUMVIRATE, composer Walter Ross' second release on Ravello Records, the concerto is showcased as a genre, illustrating that tension and opposition can create balance and richness. Throughout the three concerti, themes, timbres, rhythms, and tempos juxtapose each other, building webs of contrasting musical elements and textures. In Ross' Clarinet Concerto, the two outer movements, "Fantasia" and "Capriccio," move with the energy of dance rhythms while the middle movement, "Romanza," drifts with dreaminess and impressionistic lyricism.
