Ann Millikan - Ballad Nocturne (2010)
Contemporary Classical, Jazz | Innova | 2010 | 56:52 | FLAC, cue, no log | Booklet | 297 MB
Bulgarian National Radio Symphony Orchestra, Grigor Palikarov, conductor, Emanuele Arciuli, piano

As a former jazz pianist turned classical composer, Millikan unites these two worlds in the title cut, Ballad Nocturne, featuring renowned Italian pianist Emanuele Arciuli: a marriage of jazz ballad and classical nocturne. One hears shades of Chopin and Debussy as well as Miles’ Kind of Blue. ... Sparkling clustered string harmonics and bowed crotales hover over a lonely left-hand melody in the piano’s bass like twinkling stars. Weaving and mutating, constantly shifting and changing, Ballad Nocturne grows from a nucleus into profoundly expressive and intimate music.
Saint Paul-based composer ANN MILLIKAN writes concert music for orchestra, chamber ensembles, choir, and interdisciplinary projects involving theatre and dance. Her music is “characterized by high energy and a quirky inventiveness that defies easy categorization...Her scoring is clean and transparent and her felicities of orchestration are among the most attractive elements in her work.” (Stephen Eddins)
