Violinist Francesca Anderegg releases this collection of new works for violin and piano by young composers influenced by the minimalist heritage of John Adams. Inspired by Ginsberg's poem, "After Dead Souls", Anderegg explores an ever evolving American compositional tradition that romanticizes life on the road, freedom, exploration, individualism, and virtuosity. With her pianist collaborator, Brent Funderburk, Anderegg presents these works by Hannah Lash, Ted Hearne, Ryan Francis, Reinaldo Moya, and Clint Needham as heirs to the minimalist tradition, but also as contemporary contextualizations of the romantic character piece and early 20th century impressionism.
