Two new works by Carson Cooman

Musik Fabrik has just published two new works by Carson Cooman : Quidnet Shadows for flugelhorn and harp and A Robertsbridge Estampie for piano


Quidnet Shadows (2009) for flugelhorn and harp is dedicated to Chris Gekker. The title refers to Quidnet, a region of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. This work is one of a variety of pieces deeply connected to the landscape of Nantucket. Specifically, it is music inspired by beach shadows cast in evening light. A ritornello opens the piece and returns twice. In between these ritornelli are two mobiles, in which the music of the ritornello is developed in a freely, shadowing discourse between the two instruments. The work is available in our brass music catalog. and in our harp music catalog.


A Robertsbridge Estampie (2010) for piano was written for Jeffrey Grossman. It is a concert piano transcription of an anonymous estampie from the Robertsbridge Codex (c. 1360), the earliest surviving collection of music explicitly written for keyboard (likely a portative organ). The medieval two and three voice original is re-imagined in the context of the style and technique of the modern piano. The work is available in our piano music catalog.
