Folgore's Months

Commissioned by a consortium of outstanding collegiate wind ensembles, Folgore's Months features a soprano voice soloist in a contemporary setting of four movements musically depicting 'February,' 'August,' 'May,' and ' December.'? David Liptak, well known for his creative compositional style (his The Sacred Harp was one of the first wind works included in DHWL), has written a four movement composition for Soprano and Chamber Wind Ensemble based upon the writings of a 14th century poet. Folger's Months is a vital addition to the growing serious repertoire for vocal soloist and winds.
