Lou Harrison composed all the works recorded on this CD between 1938 and 1942. They offer the listener a rare opportunity to hear, on one CD, a large sampling of seminal 20th century works for the percussion ensemble. ... I think that the collective enthusiasm and energy that the young performers on these recordings bring to each piece confirms my long-held opinion that these pieces continue to speak powerfully to every generation of listener and performer and that they certainly deserve a much wider audience. These works broke ground then and they still challenge and delight. Thank you Lou! — Jan Williams
