Music reviews of Ingram Marshall: Savage Altars
Music Review: A walk in the sunshine...
Rating: 5 Stars
The work of American composer Ingram Marshall makes an interesting comparison to the work of his contemporary (and close friend) John Adams. Both have so-called Minimalist tendencies, but have forged a personal style that moves beyond that stylistic source. Both like to work sly electronics into an orchestral fabric. Adams is the extrovert, favoring clever titles and bits of borrowed material and referencing pop culture. Marshall also likes to quote (like his moody "Dark Waters" based on Sibelius's "Swan of Tuonela" ) but his work is often deeply introverted, and even when not quoting him, his work shares the dark, almost "Nordic" quality of Sibelius. While the title cut on his new CD, "Savage Altars," is still a fairly dark and serious work, the pieces for piano and piano 4-hands that follow feel like Marshall decided to go for a walk in the sunshine for a change. "Authentic Presence," written for the dynamic Sarah Cahill, is a powerful, mercurial composition, ostensibly based on the tune "We Shall Overcome," though also suggesting Balinese gamelan licks in some of its faster sections. Cahill plays it for all it's worth. Teamed up with Joseph Kubera, Cahill also romps through Marshall's "Five Easy Pieces." These are surely the composer's most light-hearted works to date; they're funny and sweet-tempered. "Soe-pa," the concluding work for guitar and electronics is likewise poetic without being ponderous, and easily ranks as one of Marshall's finest acheivements.
