This collection of 20th century American compositions for brass ensemble features as its title track Charles Ives' eerie From the Steeples to the Mountains -- a chamber piece that attempts to re-create the outdoor sound of church bells echoing in the mountains.

This collection of 20th century American compositions for brass ensemble features as its title track Charles Ives' eerie From the Steeples to the Mountains -- a chamber piece that attempts to re-create the outdoor sound of church bells echoing in the mountains. It is a truly exhilarating piece. Apart from the Ives pieces and Carl Ruggles' Angels, the music on this recording uses pleasant (if not always traditional) tonal systems. Barber's Mutations From Bach plays with passages of Bach's Cantata No. 23 in a 20th century style -- intriguing for those familiar with the original. Henry Cowell's Rondo is fun and rhythmic -- aiding a bit amid the longer-phrased pieces accompanying it. An interesting inclusion is Philip Glass' Brass Sextet -- seldom recorded and deleted by Glass himself from his own works list. A remarkable piece and very different from the work you have come to know from this monumental composer. ~ Mark W. B. Allender, Rovi
