composer
Robert Kirzinger is an active composer who writes frequently for the Boston Symphony program book and is editor of the program book for the annual Tanglewood Festival of Contemporary Music.
The three works on this enterprising release showcase a genuinely American composer, Anthony Paul De Ritis, professor and chair of the music department at Northeastern University in Boston, whose music lies rooted in its determination to meld science with humanity. To do so, De Ritis draws on the resources of his acoustic-electronic laboratory and applies them with a healthy enthusiasm for engaging tunes and harmonies, lively beat and a love of Technicolor.
