Waiting for the Sound
Dirié's music is known for it's expressive, engaging and balanced combination of sonic explorations, enigmatic imaginary stories, and awe inspiring detail and virtuosity. Deep emotive connections run through the musicians who shape these performances, as if holding a precious thread of unspoken or fictitious traditions. Born in Córdoba, Argentina, Gerardo Dirié studied at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Among his teachers were Argentinean maverick modernists César Franchisena and Oscar Bazán, as well as the distinguished music educator Atilio Argüello. After several years of performing rock, early music, conducting chamber music, and teaching in Argentina, Dirié continued studies in the US, earning Master and Doctorate degrees from the Indiana University School of Music, where he studied with Eugene O'Brien and microtonal opera composer and MacArthur fellow John Eaton. As an expert on Latin American Music, during the 1990s he served as assistant director for the Indiana University Latin American Music Center, promoted the repertoire and the composers of the Latin America providing consultation for projects with the American Composers Orchestra, the Houston Symphony Orchestra, the National Geographic, and the TV hit Law & Order, among incalculable number of institutions and musicians around the world. During his residency in Indiana, he wrote music for many stage productions at the Indiana Repertory Theatre, establishing himself as an associate artist of this prime theatre company. He has designed music for directors Libby Apel, Janet Allen, and David Hochoi among others, and created tailored stage music for actors such as Mira Furlan (known to fans through Babylon 5 and Lost) and Tim Green's monumental Almost a Holy Picture (he is widely known for his roles in Clear and Present Danger, and The Insider). Before moving to Australia, he developed several multi arts works/events in collaboration with Academy nominee singer Moira Smiley, violist Stacia Spencer, and choreographer Emily Stuart-Bogart. Dirié's music has been distinguished with awards from Fulbright, ASCAP, the International Tribune of Composers, the National Tribune of Electroacoustic Composers of Argentina, the National Fund for the Arts, and the Encounters of Contemporary Music Foundation. His music has been performed at Town Hall and Carnegie Hall in New York, the Colón Theatre in Buenos Aires, the National Theatre in Taiwan, at the Istanbul International Music Festival, and numerous other concert stages throughout Europe, India, Malaysia, and all the Americas. His music appears on recordings from Aguavá, LAMC, Crystal Records, Melos, DoubleMoon, and his own label Retamas. When time permits, Gerardo loves to play choros on the cavaquinho with his students in Brisbane, and explore musical traditions through his directing the world music ensemble at the Queensland Conservatorium.- Shop: odax

Serenade
Igor Plitsyn, electric violin, synthesizer Sound and Design: Igor Plitsyn Publisher: Plitsyn Music (ASCAP) Plitsyn's notes for the CD: In early 2010, I recorded a series of improvisations while exploring my Yamaha electric violin in combination with some newly acquired sound devices. The improvisations were driven by an idea of focusing on one key per session (each key corresponding to one of the five strings of the violin) and loosely using the harmonic structure of blues as a framework without intentionally adhering to any specific style. Later, while editing the recordings, I added synth pads and decided to release the music as an EP.- Shop: odax

Timeless
Kate Prestia-Schaub is a Southern California flutist and a Powell performing artist. She received her master's degree from the University of Southern California, and her bachelor's degree from Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. She is the first place winner of many prestigious competitions, most notably the National Flute Association Piccolo Artist Competition. Kate has concertized throughout the United States, Japan, Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic. Her primary teachers have been Jim Walker, Tom Robertello, Kate Lukas, and Maralyn Prestia. Kate is fortunate to collaborate with some of the finest professional musicians in Southern California, performing solo and chamber music in a variety of ensembles. The flute/piano duo, Ekatra, and the West Coast Wind Quintet have both won critical acclaim. Kate is a regular soloist in several elite chamber music series, and is principal flute in the Inland Valley Symphony. Passionate about expanding the piccolo repertoire, Kate has worked with numerous world-renowned composers, including Frederick Lesemann, Daniel Dorff, and Martin Kennedy, whose works are featured on this album. Composer and pianist Martin Kennedy received his doctorate in composition from The Juilliard School and his undergraduate and master's degrees from Indiana University. He has received numerous awards including the BMI Student Composer Award, the ASCAP Foundation Rudolf Nissim Prize, and five ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Awards. His compositions have been featured by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the American Composers Orchestra, the Baton Rouge Symphony, and the South Dakota Symphony, among many others. Kennedy is currently Assistant Professor of composition and theory at Central Washington University, and his music is published through Theodore Presser Company. Program Notes The following program notes have been provided by each of the composers. Air - Barry McKimm Piccolo Concerto was composed in 1983 for Frederick Shade, principal piccolo with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. At this time the available repertoire for piccolo as a solo instrument was very limited, and comprised mainly of transcriptions. To compose a major work for piccolo was a great challenge. In truth, I did not know what to do with such a wildly exciting orchestral instrument. The piccolo has such a potent role within the orchestra, but it is also a limited role. Like most people, I was not aware of the low register, with it's intimate beauty. It was after hearing Tim Whelan playing the Irish penny-whistle that I realized what I might do. Tim Whelan was a great artist and virtuoso. It was his playing that really set this piece in motion. The idea of a Celtic concerto dawned on me. It awakened, in my mind, tunes, images and distant associations. The orchestration is in line with traditional Irish bands, piccolo, harp, strings, percussion. The oboe and cor-anglais remind me of the pipes. The horns are not part of the traditional ensemble, but do serve in bringing the listener into the realm of the early classical symphony orchestra. The Piccolo Concerto was recorded by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation for radio broadcast in 1983, with the Melbourne Symphony conducted by Richard Divall. The first performance, in the presence of eighteen thousand people, was in February 1991, at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, with the Melbourne Symphony conducted by Vladimir Verbitzsky. The soloists were Frederick Shade on piccolo and Huw Jones on harp. In August 1991 Vladimir Verbitzsky performed the Piccolo Concerto with his orchestra in Voronez and in Moscow. The piano version was prepared and published by the composer in 1998. The second movement, the "Air" is a simple melodic idea that continues along without a break, developing it's own structure as it goes. I like to think this is a tune where ones thoughts and feelings fly westward, perhaps to a new world beyond the horizon. There seems to have always been a need for populations to travel westward, not only across the seas and oceans, but across the American continent as well. A romantic notion, for those countless folk in the search of some sort of freedom. This is the movement that Kate Prestia-Schaub has chosen to play. Kate tells me she loves this music. I wish her well and thank her for her dedication. ~ Barry McKimm Flash! - Daniel Dorff In 2002 I had the pleasure of hearing Kate Prestia-Schaub perform my Sonatine de Giverny in a recital that earned her 1st prize in the National Flute Association's Piccolo Competition. By 2008, Giverny was being performed so frequently that I decided to write another piccolo piece as soon as an opportunity arose. In September, Kate told me about the International Piccolo Symposium's composer competition, proposing that if I write her a piccolo/piano piece, she would submit applications to perform it at the 2009 IPS symposium and NFA convention. What perfect timing! I set out to compose a flashy showpiece with a jazzy snap, lots of idiomatic scales and arpeggios, and a scary middle section, and by mid-October FLASH! Was complete. (I didn't know till later that Kate had been nicknamed 'Flash' following an incident with a car engine!) All 3 wishes came true, and more - FLASH! Won first prize in the IPS composer competition, Kate's performance there has been viewed online thousands of times, she wowed a room full of hundreds of piccoloists at the New York City NFA convention the following year, and now it is available on this CD. ~ Daniel Dorff Slow Music for Piccolo Alone - Frederick Lesemann Kate (Prestia-Schaub) was in one of my classes at the USC Thornton School of Music in Spring Semester 2002. At one point I asked her to demonstrate both the flute and piccolo for the other members of the class. I was very impressed by her playing but stunned by the wonderful, dark sound she got from her piccolo. It did not at all fit the stereo-type of the instrument as bird-like and flighty. I guess the idea of writing a piccolo piece for her started to grow at that time. As it happened in Fall 2002 I was struggling with starting a work for solo flute and chamber ensemble. It occurred to me that doing a sketch of a solo piccolo piece for Kate might help me get started. Of course the piccolo piece soon took on a life of it's own. I worked on it from mid-September to mid-November 2002. She gave it's first performance at the Arnold Schoenberg Institute on the USC campus April 18, 2003. ~ Frederick Lesemann The High and The Mighty - Michael Daugherty The High and the Mighty for piccolo and piano was written for a special concert celebrating the life and career of John Krell, an extraordinary solo piccoloist and member of the Philadelphia Orchestra flute section from 1952 until his retirement in 1981. My composition is inspired by the years after World War II in America (1945-1961), when air travel was considered luxurious and glamorous. Passengers dressed in their finest clothes and eagerly boarded spacious airplanes, which transported the entire family to exotic locations halfway across the world. Before the days of overbooking and hijackings, departing passengers checked in their baggage without long lines, security checks and x-ray machines. Also during this time, going to the local airport was a national pastime. On weekends families visited security-free airports to shop, dine, relax, and watch airplanes land and takeoff from observation decks overlooking the runway. The High and the Mighty is in two movements. The first features a soaring, lyrical tune flutter-tongued by the piccoloist, the second begins with an angular piccolo cadenza, which is followed by a robust high-altitude bossa nova. ~ Michael Daugherty Passage - Daniel Kelley Passage was written in 1992 for the composer's sister, Joyce Kelley, who was completing a degree in Flute performance at UCLA with Sheridan Stokes. She asked for a piece that was brief, engaging, and fun. Over the following t- Shop: odax
