The Music of Anthony G Holland (1997)

An album featuring the works of composer Anthony G. Holland. Pola Baytelman performs track 8, Intensity 51.5+.

Holland says the piece is “a light-hearted reference to Varese’s Density 21.5. My original sketch was 51.5 measures in length. The pianist chooses how many times to repeat certain measures, hence the “+” sign.

with: Pola Baytelman (piano); Peter Markovsky (piccolo); Bohumil Smejkal (violin); Frantisek Novotny (violin); Joel Brown (guitar); Norman Thibodeau (flute); Danielle Bruce (percussion); Anthony Holland (narrator); Orchestre d’Artiste, Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory Symphony Orchestra, Dwight Oltman (conductor)
