Guitarist Paul Smith had previously played some of Loeb's works, and he suggested an album of compositions which comprise narrative or pictorial points of departure rather than abstract theoretical pieces. David Loeb took up the challenge, and this intriguing album is the result. Composer David Loeb was born in 1939 to a family which took music and the arts very seriously. He studied first with Peter Pindar Stearns at the Mannes College of Music, and then received his master's degree from Yale. His catalog of compositions is quite remarkably extensive and diverse. In addition to the typical assortment of works for orchestra, chamber ensembles, and voice, he has also composed extensively for Asian instruments and for early music instruments. Sometimes, he even brings the two worlds together and scores for combinations like four shakuhachi and four viols.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Studies in Darkness~Evening on the Coast \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Studies in Darkness~Evening in Tynska Lane \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Studies in Darkness~Embankment in the Evening \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Studies in Darkness~Honeymoon \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Studies in Darkness~Winter Evening in the Old City \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Old Mill \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Three Views of Autumn~Music of the Autumn Winds \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Three Views of Autumn~Music of Autumn \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Three Views of Autumn~Autumn in Saga \u003cbr\u003e1.10 To Know Music \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Twilight Music\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
