Excerpt:Surface Tension

The six composers featured in Montage are among today’s most sought-after creators of film music. (They have amply demonstrated their skill at creating mood and propelling action for a mass audience.) But when working away from the movie screen, what melodies, harmonies, and cadences might haunt their private dreams? Gloria Cheng offers an answer to those questions with first recordings of their new works for solo piano, “a medium that can often reveal a composer’s truest voice.”
