Kenneth Fuchs

Full Score, Softcover FALLING MAN for baritone and orchestra are based on Don DeLillo''s 2007 novel about the events, aftermath, and changed lives of 9/11,a book which enthralled Kenneth Fuchs. DeLillo''s unflinching description of raw terror and absolute chaos provided a standpoint from which Fuchs could begin to come to terms as a composer with the shocking and world-changing events of that fateful morning. The work is cast in the form of a dramatic scena for baritone voice and orchestra, and the principal melodic and harmonic elements are organized around a falling twelve-tone theme. Recorded by JoAnn Falletta and the London Symphony Orchestra with baritone Roderick Williams at Abbey Road Studio, Naxos CD Falling Man 8.559753. This is a wonderfully recorded disc that should continue to gain Fuchs the notoriety he so deserves. --Steven Bergman, Edge A chamber version for baritone and mixed octet, arranged by David Krane, is also available from the publisher.Full Score, Softcover FALLING MAN for baritone and orchestra are based on Don DeLillo''s 2007 novel about the events, aftermath, and changed lives of 9/11,a book which enthralled Kenneth Fuchs.
