WindSync - All Worlds, All Times (2022) Hi-Res

In ALL WORLDS, ALL TIMES they play three new works – all tonal, all melodic, all eminently accessible, anchored as they are on music that is anything but “highbrow”.

Apollo by Marc Mellits was inspired by the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Its fifteen miniatures range from the meditatively tranquil to the jittery and restless. Deceivingly simple, Mellits’ composition is a tricky tour de force that calls for the members of Windsync to bring their best game to the playing of this fun but complex composition.

Ivan Trevino’s Songbook, vol. 3 is a charming homage to four alternative music icons: David Byrne, Thom Yorke, Annie Clark, and Jonsi Birgisson. Each section is written in a song-style redolent of that of the subject of each movement.

Miguel del Aguila’s Wind Quintet No. 2 is a four-part work that gives preference to the lower register instruments of the quintet in four movements: Back in Time, in Heaven, Under the Earth, and Far Away. The imaginative, genre-bending, consistently inventive music of the Uruguayan-American composer ranges from the moody to the raucous.

WindSync is one of North America’s most acclaimed wind quintets, WindSync has generated buzz in the world of chamber music with their spirited performance style and wide-ranging, responsive programming. On stage, the group puts new music in dialogue with core repertoire and arrangements of well-loved music.
