Schwantner / Panko / Ursin / Macdonald / Saylor Looking Back CD

One of the most prominent American composers today, best known for his orchestral works (including "Aftertones of Infinity," - 1979 Pulitzer Prize), Joseph Schwantner has long shown a special affinity for the flute. On Looking Back, flutist Jennie Oh Brown embraces Schwantner's progressive, colorful musical language while directly quoting and acknowledging music of his past. The four pieces on this album were written over a span of three decades. Jennie Oh Brown is Artistic Director and Flutist with Picosa, a chamber ensemble for flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano, and resident composer.
