RHYTHM OF THE SPIRIT VOL. 1 from Earl Louis Stewart makes a bold statement: that America’s music — born of sorrow, improvisation, resistance, and joy — belongs within the same canon as Bach or Palestrina. Stewart’s fugues, canons, counterfugues, and retrogrades are written with the strictness of Europe’s 16th and 18th century conventions, yet pulse with the syncopation and soul of ragtime, blues, and jazz. The album features three sonatas — No. 2, with its dusky blues fugue and vibraphone ballad; No. 5, which develops ragtime counterfugues, retrogrades, and canons; and No. 12, where a true blues fugue reconciles the 12-bar form with the classical sonata.
