The pieces on this program recall the mysterious ingenuity of nature. These are not works in which the hand of the composer can be readily seen; instead the music exudes its own life force, like a bubbling spring or a flurry of snow. Violist Nanci Severance is featured in Michael Jarrell’s …more leaves..., and Christopher Froh brings a dancer’s grace to Matthias Pintscher’s percussion solo, nemeton, named for the sacred groves where Druids met in ancient times.
