By Jennifer Castellano. Spectrum, Seven Preludes for Piano was inspired by a work by the American artist, Ellsworth Kelly (b. 1923). The composer writes, When I was a freshman in college, I saw his work entitled Spectrum at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The work consisted of thirteen large panels, and each contained a different color or shade of color. The first panel was yellow and the last was yellow. To me this work was a visual representation of a chromatic scale played one full octave up the piano keyboard. Five years after the magnificent sighting at the Met, I decided that I wanted to make an audio representation of the seven colors of the rainbow, each represented by a different tonality or pitch center: A being red, B orange, C yellow, D green, E blue, F indigo, and G violet. Spectrum abandons the use of the conventional major-minor key systems and instead uses a scale which the composer invented called the Castellonian Mode. In it's original form the scale is spelled C D E F G G# (or Ab) A Bb C. The sound of this new tonal system exhibits both major and minor-like qualities and yet has a new sonority of its own. The Castellonian Mode was invented in the summer of 2004 and has served as the basis of many of her tonal compositions.

For Piano.
By Vladimir Nikolov

Flashes is a collection of twelve miniature pieces for solo piano, composed in several stages over a long period of time.

Each one of these pieces illustrates an independent story and mood and is written with a different approach to the piano. All of the stories are products of instant moments of creativity that gradually became depictions of everyday life events, places and revelations that occurred during the process of writing. Many times this process became the story itself, thus the source of light evolved into its own reflection.

Styles vary from classical, post-impressionist to jazz and minimal through organic compositional structure.

Titles Include:
First Etude for Piano
Sun - trine - Moon
Last Etude for Piano
Distance
Bit Bang
Wednesday Afternoon
Game
Skopje
Reflection...(on Caress)
Prelude to Still Life

This piece titled track was inspired by a quote often credited to Henry David Thoreau: As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.

The piece was written for and premiered by Sarah Cahill. track is dedicated to my good friend, Danny Clay.

By Wieslaw Rentowski. A La Mode [ French, la mode in the fashion; served with ice cream ] was commissioned by the Louisiana Music Teachers Association, as a result of the LMTA 1998 Commissioning Award Composition Contest. The composition was first performed in Lake Charles, LA by pianist Christina Ay-Chen Long ( during the 1998 LMTA Convention ), and is dedicated to her. A La Mode was conceived as a brilliant piano metaphor of French-Polish culture and is related to the composer's concept of open/universal tonality.
