My Cross [CF:114-42351]

Carter Pann calls this work “an exploration in bel canto writingfor an instrument I have been in love with since my first forays as a composer.” The result is a lusciously haunting and dreamy arioso that flirts with the familiar, yet reveals surprises at everyturn. Equally beautiful with piano or with chamber orchestra,MY CROSS is a 9-minute work whose technical challenges lieprimarily in breath control and in maintaining a sustained,beautiful tone throughout its long lines.
