Last Light: Eleven Art Songs by Ronald E. Moore

Editorial Reviews
Blas Atehortua, one of South America's leading composers
"...mysterious, ethereal, with a rare, lyrical talent for the melodic line."

Jaime Leon, former Director of the American Ballet Theatre, Washington, D.C.
"...possesses a true gift in writing for the voice."

Album Description
Ronald E. Moore is a composer and poet from the USA whose creativity and personality first command attention with intensity and then reward it with subtlety. For his newest release, a collection of original Art Songs published by Anacapa Music, Moore utilizes works from some of his favorite poets as well as three of his own poems (a book of which will be published in 2001). Moore puts these poems to music for piano and voice in a passionate classical style that is better heard than described.

These gorgeous melodies never forget my heart as I listen to them, even as they are sometimes flung wildly over the edges of tonality. As distinguished from most other contemporary art songs I've heard, these actually compel me to listen to them! They wind through all sorts of terrain: impressionist and expressionist - always remaining truly romantic. My suggestion: buy a good bottle of wine to go with this CD. Open them at the same time.
