About

The first of two releases featuring the music of Cassandra Miller in this second batch of releases documenting some of the diverse and startling music being created at present in Canada. Two soloworks and two pieces for ensemble that exploit the sense of cultural freedom that she feels the geography of her life in Canada offers: “I felt this sense of free outsiderness growing up in Victoria, and you find it a bit in Vancouver, and then Toronto has gone through phases of being very strange... I think the story of English Canada is that it teeters between very free and wonderful and strange, and then kind of non-existent, with not enough energy to get things going, where people are abandoned.”

Most striking of all is Duet for Cello and Orchestra, from 2015. It began, Miller says, as a homage to the composer Vincenzo Bellini, and also makes extensive use of an Italian folk song...It’s a strange but profoundly haunting piece.
