Works for clarinet and string quartet by contemporary Canadian composers. Born in Poland, Piotr Grella-Mozejko has lived in Canada since 1989. …River to the ocean…was commissioned by clarinettist Jean-Guy Boisvert in 1996. Montreal composer Jean Lesage was born in 1958. ‘Le livre des mélancolies’ (1999) was commissioned by the Société de musique contemporaine du Québec (SMCQ). Tim Brady is a composer and guitarist who has created music in a wide range of genres ranging from chamber and orchestral to electroacoustic works, chamber opera, contemporary dance scores, jazz, and free improvisation. ‘Slow Dances’ (1999) was commissioned by Jean-Guy Boisvert and the Quatuor Bozzini. Particularly interested in the music of his contemporaries, Jean-Guy Boisvert has frequently premiered new works by Canadian composers. Moving freely from avant-garde events to traditional concerts, the Quatuor Bozzini was characterized by the Irish Times as a ‘group which gets its teeth into music: quiet or loud, fast or slow, these Canadian musicians play with compelling engagement.’
