Songs in the Ground: Galhano/Montgomery Duo

Label: Ten Thousand Lakes, SC 114
Available from The Schubert Club
The Galhano-Montgomery Duo (Cléa Galhano/Vivian Montgomery) performs music for recorder and harpsichord based on the ground and variation principles, including Rigadoons, a medley of neo-Baroque dances which I wrote for them in 1998. Also on the CD: music of the Italian Baroque; Vivian’s striking rendition of the Bach Passacaglia in C minor, and John Morrison’s wicked and whimsical Twisted Little Ground.
