WINGDANCE – Annotation by the Composer Forest Muther

Picture, if you will, the image of Earth as seen from outer space, perhaps from another planet. The farther away an observer travels, the closer together all of the nations of our globe appear. As the world turns, the different localities takes turns facing that distant observer. And as radio signals continue to interlace us together in an increasingly complex weave, eventually the signals from the disparate countries form a new, harmonious whole, observable all at once. These ideas can be heard in aural form throughout Wing Dance, a new composition by Forest Muther – including a short new work from italian composer Corrado Vitale – that takes its title from the graceful movements made by the arms of traditional Korean performers. At first, the constituent elements – jazz, Korean, and classical – are heard separately; then, the separate strains of music meet, shake hands, and form new bonds, until all musicians play together in a new hybrid that is greater than the sum of its parts.
