Artist:	GARLAND, PETER
Title:	Another Sunrise
Label:	MODE
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	MODE 110CD

"Peter Garland's music is a unique mixture of minimalism with influences from South/Central America, Asia and Native Americans; along with American mavericks Cage, Partch, Harrison, Cowell, and Varése -- while being uniquely American. The works on this record share a special meditative, and at times ecstatic, spirituality. Born in 1952, he studied with Harold Budd and James Tenney. Garland has a long artistic association with the performers on this disc. Essential Music's percussive talents present this music's exotic and brilliant sound in an authoritatively persuasive way. The recordings are composer supervised."

Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	TZ 7053

"One of America's true maverick composers, a friend of Partch, Nancarrow, Cage, and countless others, Peter Garland is a tireless champion of new music, a passionate writer and one of the true unsung pioneers of minimalism. These evocative early piano pieces create hypnotic moods of impressionistic beauty and are some of his most personal musical statements. Beautifully performed by the brilliant pianist Aki Takahashi, to whom many of his works have been dedicated, this is an incredibly gorgeous CD of rediscovered masterpieces from the early days of minimalism."

Title:	Love Songs
Label:	TZADIK
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	TZ 8012

"Love Songs documents the long musical and personal association, dating back to 1971, between composer Peter Garland and the incredible percussion virtuoso William Winant. Produced by Winant, this CD features two pieces written expressly for the Abel-Steinberg-Winant trio, and a new recording of the classic Matachin Dances, composed for Malcolm Goldstein back in 1980. Another beautiful CD of romantic, melodic minimalism by a composer who has championed Conlon Nancarrow, Paul Bowles, Lou Harrison, Dane Rudhyar, Sylvestre Revueltas, and who bravely carries their legacy forward."

Title:	Three Strange Angels
Label:	TZADIK
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	TZ 8059

"This historic release presents the first recordings of the early music of Peter Garland, one of the most personal voices in the second generation of West Coast minimalists. Drawing inspiration from Native American and Mexican ritual music, Peter creates beautiful and lyrical sonic portraits. This long out-of-print masterpiece, considered by many to be Peter's greatest recording, was originally released in 1989 on WhatNext? as Border Music and is supplemented here by rare live recordings from the same period. Featuring new expanded notes by the composer and rare photos from the period, this is the definitive document of an American experimental classic."
