Violence, Dancing, Music! These three topics have been frequently explored in popular music and culture. On this CD, we have connected violence and dancing in classical formats but at the same time acknowledging our composers'' love of borrowing popular idioms. Through violent knife fights in Piazzolla''s "Angel Suite" and Bernstein''s "West Side Story," the music and the plots are propelled forward. These characters dance the Milonga, the Tango, and the Cha Cha before the violence erupts. Barber''s "Souvenirs" suite is much less violent, but again embraces dance as it soothes the soul. Above all, the music inspires passions of all kinds. We hope you enjoy our CD!
