Richard Carr: Over The Ridge

Rich Coplandesque atmospheres are created by violinist/composer Richard Carr and his team of strings comprised of Laura Lutzke/vi, Ravenna Lipchik/vi, Caleb Burhans/va and Clarice Jensen on this dozen panorama of tones. The strings range from a turbulent undercurrent of “Narrow Traverse” to tensile, almost R&Bish pulses on the snappy “Terrace Dancing”. Lovely textures of impressionism dominate “Processional” with stately motifs present on “Over The Ridge”. The strings sway and dance to “Fulton Avenue Bus” and mix dreams and droplets during “Early Departure”. Soundtrack for a contemplate stroll.
