Stuart Saunders Smith: New England

New England is named after the collec-tion of states in the northeast of the United States. Since the formation of the country, it has been a place of intellectual ferment such as Thoreau, Emerson, Dickinson and Charles Ives. The compositions are for solo-vibraphone and are a meditation and continuance of this region´s tran-scendentalist roots. „The vibraphone is my home, my paper. You, the listener, are welcome here, to hear my soul, and in doing so, find your own soul.“ (Stuart Saunders Smith)
