The Pretty Songs
Dennis Bathory-Kitsz
About this work: This set of songs is without words, and captures the clangorous beauty of English bell peals. The voice uses strong harmonic singing, and the sax part works in quarter-tones. Tricky and beautiful, it was written for Claudia Friedlander and Steven Stusek.
