<p>CD, orchestra, 64 page color illustrated, hard-cover book. THURBER'S DOGS - musical suites composed by Grammy-winner Peter Schickele (PDQ Bach), based on James Thurber's dog cartoons, reproduced in the accompanying book with an essay on Thurber. THURBER'S DOGS was commissioned for the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra of Columbus & Thurber House to commemorate the 100th birthday of author James Thurber. Completed on August 13, 1994, this is the world premiere recording. VOICES FROM THE GALLERY - an eleven-section work for narrator & chamber orchestra. Hard-back book contains color plates of the art. In VOICES FROM THE GALLERY, eleven works of art 'speak' to their audience for the first time in words & music. That they've always had the power to do so is suggested by the title of Andre' Malraux's remarkable book of art history, entitled The Voices of Silence. The collaboration between composer & librettist transforms sight into sound, & too allows the audience to 'see' with the ear's 'eye'. Nothing the eleven works can say' in this piece will reduce their stature. Something they do 'say' may cause us to look at them again, & this time - perhaps for the first time - 'hear' the music of vision.</p>

Peter Schickeles prodigious catalog contains a wealth of chamber music for a wide spectrum of ensembles, including those for strings with and without piano. But when the Alaria Trio approached Schickele to compose a work to premiere in Carnegie Hall, it was a perfect opportunity to compose his first work for this scoring. In four movements as absolute music without subtitles, Piano Trio Alaria is a treasure of song and dance. For advanced performers. Dur.: 16'30""

Although Peter Schickele grew up as a wind player, he never played in a quintet or composed for this combination until this work was commissioned by Vanderbilt University for its faculty Blair Woodwind Quintet. The 22-minute suite represents the seasonal cycle of a year in central New York States Catskill Mountains, where the composer lives in Woodstock. For advanced performers.
