about

Taking Turns is a three-movement representation of the motion of turning.

Spin speaks for itself as the two instruments spin and whirl through sinewy lines that expand upon the motives from the first movements in a rather perverse perpetuum mobile.

Equally at home composing in solitude or collaborating with other artists, Gregory Wanamaker creates music that is at times lyrically expressive while at others athletically virtuosic. His eclectic sound world responds in kind to a variety of extra-musical influences ranging from the simplicity of a still life painting, the emotions of a dramatic narrative, the graceful or angular lines of a landscape, or the visceral discourse of the moment. Wanamaker’s music has been described as “pure gold, shot through with tenderness and grace” (San Francisco Chronicle), “achingly beautiful” (Palm Beach Daily News), “deeply romantic yet unsentimental” (I Care If You Listen), and “a technical tour de force” (Fanfare). He is currently Professor of Composition at the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam where he has served since 1997. He studied composition with William Averitt, Thomas Albert, Anthony Branker and Ladislav Kubík.
