About

The young American composer Carson P. Cooman is one of the most active of his generation, having written over six hundred works in many forms. This disc presents a broad overview of his music, from orchestral to chamber and solo works. 
 
It includes the lyrical Symphony No. 2, inspired by a poem of Kathleen Wakefield about love and the desire for rain, and his Symphony No. 3, which takes as its source material the plainchant Ave maris stella. Partita explores the baroque flute’s unique sonic properties, and the Piano Concerto is filled with allusions to classical symphonic form and style, within a contemporary context. 
 
Dedicated to the composer Peter Sculthorpe, Songlines, Sun Dreaming is rich in native Australian imagery.
 
The Sonata for Violin and Organ, Op. 573 was commissioned by Harrison Nelson for the Gough Duo and is dedicated to Rupert and Rachel Gough who gave the première in November 2004 at St John’s, Smith Square in London. The Duo has been praised by the American Record Guide: “The playing is wonderful.”
