A must listen for admirers of American lyricism.

Composer Jan Krzywicki is on the faculty at Temple University's Boyer College of Music and Dance, and conductor of the new music ensemble, Network for New Music. This new collection of his music radiates a virtuosic craft and flowing lyricism that emphasizes the blending of color shading in instrumental and vocal timbres, and the illusion of light in music. The recipient of numerous awards and commissions from prestigious performers and ensembles, his music has been heard throughout the United States. This is the third recording on Albany Records to feature his compositions.

Review:
"Jan Krzywicki writes fascinating music with rich textures, moving toward denser, darker colors for emphasis. The best work is Catching Light…It has three movements based on types of light…the constant shifting of texture is enthralling…Chamber and choral music come together in Lute Music…The text by Kenneth Rexroth connects themes of nativity, epiphany, and existentialism. The choir and instruments unite in ethereal textures and gorgeous harmonies for an absolutely heavenly result.…This is refreshing and exciting chamber and choral music." (American Record Guide)
