Also: Monday, September 11, 2006 (9:30pm) Vox Americana is a seven movement, sixty-five minute musical suite that was commissioned by Chamber Music America. Guitarist/Composer Joel Harrison has composed Vox Americana for his Free Country Ensemble. The composition delves deeply into American identity. It combines jazz, Appalachian, classical, electronic, country blues, Indian, African and Cuban genres to create one of the most innovating musical movements of our time. The music deals with questions in an abstract, yet highly emotional fashion. Exquisite string writing, burning grooves, fiery soloing, haunting textures, blues shouts, and lyrical melodies all play a role in this epic masterpiece. This compositional tour de force promises to be one of the highlights of this year's music calendar. PRESS CONTACT:
