A Long Time Ago Into The Future
Mary Kenedi plays Canadian piano music
A Long Time Ago Into The Future was written for Mary Kenedi in 1986.
Michael S. Horwood's more than seventy compositions constitute a kaleidoscope of the traditional and the avant-garde, spanning a wide variety of contemporary idioms including twelve-tone, theatre pieces, electroacoustic (both live and pre-recorded), jazz, minimalism and neo-romanticism.
The music on this CD is clearly identified with birds but none of the pieces aim at imitation, except in passing.

Percussionique
The complete percussion music of Michael S. Horwood
"Expertly performed by the Toronto Percussion Quartet...as well as a few extra players on the larger works,...the sound quality sparkles and reveals every nuance of music that evolves from early influences by the 1960s avant-garde to a more refined style in Michael Horwood's later compositions." (Percussive Notes)
A perfect introduction to Michael S. Horwood's compositional style, this recording is beautifully performed by the Sinfonia Varsovia, conducted by Ian Hobson.Go to Top
