Mark Fewer's album conducting and performing with Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra Sinfonia, "Alikeness", is now available on all streaming platforms! (Leaf Music)
An album inspired by the human capacity to learn, adapt and collaborate. With the collaboration of percussionist Aiyun Huang and soprano Deantha Edmunds.
The album opens with Deantha Edmunds’ Angmalukisaa, a personal piece about human connections, followed by Serge Arcuri’s Épisodes, a 1998 composition blending baroque and modern styles. Next is Matt Brubeck’s The Simple Life, newly arranged for strings, and Robert Carli’s C from B-A-C-H, written in 2013 for the Sweetwater Music Festival. The album closes with Alikeness, Yoshiaki Onishi’s arrangement of an eight-movement suite by Jaroslaw Kapuściński, originally composed for the St. Lawrence String Quartet and Aiyun Huang in 2015.
See the note from the Mark Fewer below:
I’ve always been intrigued by the human capacity to learn, adapt, and (hopefully)
collaborate. [...]
This album, I believe, features music that gives the listener a deeply rewarding experience when heard from this point of view. It is all string-based music (my immediate world) but brings in ideas and sounds from many different worlds of experience. I encourage anyone who sits and hears these notes to find their own “alikenesses,” and I hope, in turn, that their worlds become larger because of it.
