Program Notes for David Walther's "The Other Way!" Imagine an album with images of family vacations, weddings, and portraits. But instead of photos, the album contains music. That's exactly what violist/composer David Walther has created with the four works he has composed for Threads of the Heart (released by Albany Records). The result is a collection of vivid portraits which capture his family's personalities and celebrate memorable occasions· 'in their lives. The four-movement work is a loving portrayal of the composer's mother and daughter, who both have a poor sense of direction. Walther's style and harmonic language in this piece combine the irreverence of Shostakovich with the harmonic crunch ofHindemith. The first movement is a cheerful debate between mother and granddaughter about which way to go. Overlapping polytonal melodies give the impression of two people talking over each other. The second movement has all the cheekiness of a Shostakovich waltz. In the third movement, a delicate piano solo reiterates a bell-like figure. The violin and cello play a peaceful, introspective melody in unison. The overall effect is of a person sitting up late at night, thinking. A bashful soprano piano and violin melody introduces the final movement. Next, the cello and piano bounce in with a sprightly bass melody. The soprano and bass melodies play hide and seek before tumbling together into an atonal scramble. Finally, the movement closes out the album with a Joyous romp and jazzy rhythms By Viola Da Voce in Sonic Perspectives (from October 7, 2013) Upcoming MUsic Alive Guest Artist Concerts: November 15, 2013 -!2:00pm LONDON- Benjamin Britten Celebration Members of Marshall Music Faculty January 24, 2013 -12:00pm BOSTON- ''New England Patriots" Montclair String Quartet ttt The Marshall University School of Music is grateful for the support of many families and individuals who help make our department strong and vibrant.
