Artistic Reflections 2

Artistic Reflections II, February 10, 2008, a Greater Tri Cities Area Composers' Consortium (GTCACC) concert sponsored by the Bristol, Tennessee, First Presbyterian Church's Arts Series, was a reprise of the popular 2004 Artistic Reflections which was featured in a front page article in the May/June issue of  American Composers Forum's Sounding Board. Members of GTCACC wrote original musical interpretations for visual art. (Commissioned and sponsored by First Presbyterian Church and King College; and funded by a Tennessee Arts Build Communities grant.) This time the art was from the Neal and Alice Caldwell Art Collection at King College.

A! Magazine for the Arts (Click on Archives, January, 2008, online) has an extensive write-up about the composers and their new music. And American Composers' Forum has featured Artistic Reflections II in the May/June 2008 issue of Sounding Board. This is the third time the consortium has made their front page as a feature article.

Alan Fey plays the Marimba
Marimba music in REFLECTIONS was written especially for Alan Fey.

My contribution to this concert  (click on Archive, Jan, 2008, Artistic Reflections II, Evelyn Pursley-Kopitzke) is a choral work titled "Reflections"  featuring marimba soloist Alan Fey. The architecture and acoustics of the First Presbyterian Church (FPC) sanctuary created musical reflections,  reverberations, echoes; which added to the musical interpretation of visual art that features reflection. (Seven Landscapes) Water reflections appear upside-down, and often are broken or obliterated by waves on the surface. The music itself is built on mirror images, echoes, and altered echoes. The concert-goers were surrounded by antiphonal sound, and visually immersed in the projected art which was projected during the performance and then was on display at FPC during a reception after the concert.
