Details:
Officially released in January 2008, promotional copies of TULPE were premiered at the CLASSICAL NATIVE program at the Smithsonian''s National Museum of the American Indian. This CD features contemporary classical chamber music based on Native themes by Mohawk composer, Dawn Avery and Englewinds director, Sarah Davol.
Lovers of Classical Music, Native American Culture, Woodwinds, Percussion and Strings, or one of the newest genres in Contemporary Classical Music will like this CD!
The Classical Native program, as I understood it, was not just about exploring the rich contributions that Native people are making to the world of contemporary classical music, but also a meeting ground for Native musicians to explore our world as living artists.
Englewinds performs music by living composers and specializes in performing and commissioning music that creates environmental awareness. Englewinds members are some of NY’s finest musicians; performing and recording frequently in Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center and Colleges throughout the US. Since 1998, the ensemble has premiered over fifty works to help save New Jersey’s wetlands, to heighten awareness of Lenape Native American history, to call attention to the diminishing turtle and monarch butterfly habitat, to emphasize the need for clean drinking water worldwide, and to introduce sounds of the rainforest and wetlands to young audiences.
DAWN AVERY – Short Bio
“Rarely are performers as at home at Lincoln Center as they are in a sweat lodge. Mohawk composer, cellist, vocalist, educator and Grammy-nominated performer Dawn Avery is equally comfortable in both. Working with musical luminaries from Luciano Pavarotti to Sting, Dawn spent years honing her musical talents with some of NYC’s finest composers and New Music ensembles. She has been privileged to work with such great composers as Cage, Wuorinen, Carter, Glass and Crumb. Her compositions have been performed worldwide, and she’s been recognized with awards from the American Dance Festival at Duke University, Meet the Composer, The Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County, First Nations Composers Initiative of the American Composer’s Forum, and New York University. As part of the Classical Native composer’s movement, she draws most of her inspiration from indigenous sounds and spirit, uniting North American and European instrumentation. As an educator, Dawn helps to nurture future generations of musicians as Professor of Music at Montgomery College where she also directs the MC World Ensemble.” Virginia Prescott, NPR
SARAH DAVOL – Short Bio
Sarah Davol, composer, oboist and Director of Englewinds, has a career that spans musical styles and ages: fromplaying historical and modern oboes to composing music in the classical, jazz and world genres. She performs with a variety of ensembles at halls throughout the U.S. and Europe including Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, Philadelphia Kimmel Center, Metropolitan Museum, Tanglewood, Esterhazy Palace in Austria, and the Bachhaus, Handelhaus, and Telemann Zentrum in Germany. She may be heard on BMG, Centaur, Dorian, Harmonia Mundi, Helicon, Music Masters, Newport Classics, Smithsonian, Teldec, Titanic and Vox. Davol’s works include solo, chamber and choral music, and her music most often reflects her love of nature.
Sarah and Dawn share a Lenape Story -
Turtle, Turkey and Wolf were standing by the River. They wanted to cross to the other side where there was plentiful food. Turtle crawled slowly and deliberately under the water and made his way to the other side. Turkey strutted and gobbled, then managed to fly up over the River, and was the second to reach the opposite side. Wolf, however, could not swim or fly. Wolf ran up and down the riverbank and finally, sat down and howled. For this reason, the order of importance of the animals is Turtle, Turkey, Wolf.
