Works for chamber ensemble and voice illuminate composer Paul Salerni's work over the past 10 years.

Composer Paul Salerni is on the faculty at Lehigh University where he teaches composition and directs the new music ensemble. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard and is a leading expert on the music of Earl Kim as well as being a dedicated educator. His music, described by the New York Times as "impressive" and "playful," has been performed throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe and China. He is the recipient of numerous awards and commissions: his opera Tony Caruso's Final Broadcast won the National Opera Association's Chamber Opera competition and was premiered in 2008. This recording, which contains his chamber music written over the past ten years, reflects his belief that "music should make you want to dance, sing, cry, laugh. It should move you physically and emotionally." Through chamber ensembles, Salerni has taken advantage of the possibilities for music to touch and be touched.

Review:
“What a pleasure it is to encounter a disk of chamber music…that is so filled with wit, melodic invention, genuine beauty, a high level of craftsmanship, and most of all genuine humanity. …Performances are all deeply felt and strong….” (Fanfare)
