Gavin Bryars After the Requiem LP UK IMPORT 1st Pressing Classical Bill Frisell Booklet
After the Requiem continued Gavin Bryars' journey away from the more experimental work that made his reputation early in his career toward pieces possessing a more melancholic and romantic quality. In two of the works herein, "The Old Tower of Lobenicht" and "Allegrasco," one can hear echoes of his brilliant composing on the Hommages album. Guitarist Bill Frisell performs on three of the four compositions. The standout track is a saxophone quartet number, "Alaric I or II," featuring the surprising presence of Evan Parker. In fact, Bryars' earliest musical ventures were as a member of the British free improvisation community, so the inclusion of Parker has some historical background. The composition is a very enjoyable melange of minimalist technique and references to Gershwin that manages to cohere into a satisfying whole. Listeners who are looking for something a bit meatier than Arvo Part or Henryk Gorecki may find their appetite satisfied. Gavin Bryars (born 16 January 1943, Goole, East Yorkshire, England) is an English composer and double bassist. He has been active in, or has produced works in, a variety of styles of music, including jazz, free improvisation, minimalism, historicism, experimental music, avant-garde and neoclassicism.
His music has been published on Mnemonic Publishing.
