According to the Origin Mythology of the World Xylophone League, millennia ago, the gods discovered the rumba, but didn’t know what to do with it since they had no concept of music. So they created ninety-four humans – the Tribe of Meptang – who were proficient in the art of “accompaniment.” The better the human complemented the gods’ sometimes fantastic movements, the more lavish the gift bestowed upon the lucky accompanist. It didn’t take long for tribal members to learn that percussion instruments worked best – specifically, potquid nam truffglog, or “good-sounding banged-on hollow tree trunk,” later shortened to xylophone. One day, the gods simply vanished. One theory suggests that during a particularly vigorous dance routine that involved a cow, they accidently contorted their bodies into non-orientable Möbius strips that were invisible in Earth’s electromagnetic spectrum. Well, the Meptangs had grown immensely fond of their baksheesh, so they tried to lure back the gods by building ever larger xylophones. And although the gods never rematerialized, the Tribe of Meptang continued to fashion giant wooden thwacking instruments, which today are prized by percussionists the world over.

Jan Hus Church

Kicking off the program will be the amazing Lynn Bechtold performing 4 one-minute pieces for solo violin. She’ll be performing these pieces on Douglas DaSilva’s Dad’s violin for his MDV project: Ken Paoli’s Cadenza; Milica Paranosic’s uspavanka; and Steve Cohen’s Dear Old Dad. These are wonderful pieces. Lynn is rounding out the set with the dependably excellent tango-master Juan Maria Solare’s Zelante.
Next up is the extraordinary flute talent of Linda Wetherill performing Turkish composer Can Bilir’s Hypertext II for solo flute! Linda said that there is a lot of room for interpretation on this piece. So, we’ll be able to hear Linda strut her stuff on this one!
Violinist Stanichka Dimitrova, who received high praise on her performance on the Composer’s Voice December 9, 2012 concert will once again be performing a work by New York’s very own Nailah Nombeko: Obscurity with international pianist Noah Palmer!
Italian guitarist Diego Campagna is flying in to present Irish composer Greg Caffrey’s Takemitsu's Dream for solo guitar is a work “not-to-miss!”
Closing the concert with an encore presentation of Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame: Parhelion Trio! The premiere in Queens last Summer. It was a ridiculously hot and sweaty evening and they still managed to turn up the heat even more with their awesome playing! Composer’s Voice is very excited to present these 15 works performed by Parhelion at Jan Hus Church. Where Seth Gilman of the NY Music Culture Examiner states “15 Minutes of Fame pieces again ran the stylistic gamut”
It is an exciting collection of 15 one-minute-pieces by 15 composers: Sunny Knable; Peter Nickol, Juan María Solare, Beatrice Barazzoni, Todd Tarantino, Michael Mikulka, Francis Kayali, Pierce Gradone, Luca Vanneschi, Kevin Boursiqout, Vladimir Karpenko, Denton McCabe, Anthony O'Toole, Jean-Pierre Vial, and Sean O'Boyle.
