Mathematically Controlled, but Humanly Contained by Logan Barrett

In this piece, Logan Barrett investigates the relationships between formal mathematical structures, my own compositional process, the physical and performative abilities of the player, and the perceived surface of the music. Each of the three movements is constructed from ideas based on the work of a different mathematician and takes a different approach to adapting mathematical ideas into a musical system.

Glass-Color by Marissa DiPronio

Glass-Color explores the timbral possibilities of various glass and metal objects. It was composed for percussionist Jacob Dike in early 2013.



Selected instruments should have a wide variety of pitches. Avoid choosing almglocken pitches that are extremely consonant with one another, such as the pitches contained in a major or minor chord. Mason jars can also be used as glass bottles.

Sun Songs by Alex Shanafelt

This music is about two people.



This work was written for Tampa Homegrown.


The author of the poetry prefers to remain anonymous.


embalmed, enshrined, or cast out among

embalmed, enshrined, or cast out among is a cello solo written by composer Michael Standard, which addresses themes of mortality, personal decision-making, and drama through metaphor and performance techniques. It was originally written for Josh Thornton, and is performed here by Eduard Teregulov.

"Death" from Sappho Fragments - G. Blake Harrison-Lane

This is the third movement of Sappho Fragments, an art song for Soprano by composer G. Blake Harrison-Lane. The songs are settings of text by the Greek lyric poet Sappho, who was born between 630 and 612 BCE. This suite of songs is an ongoing song cycle that uses translations of what remains of Sappho’s poetry in short songs reflecting on the nearly twenty-seven century journey that the words took to reach us here today.


This recording is the third movement, "Death," which uses the text below: Death is an evil, for the gods choose breath; Had Death been good the gods had chosen Death.

White Dust - Bradley Mikesell

White Dust is a string quartet by composer Bradley Mikesell. The quartet uses several motifs and ideas which come from Mikesell's solos for the constituent instruments. The entire quartet expresses very exciting ideas, and uses the string medium in a unique and innovative way.
