Notes
The music of Dr. Clare Fischer is a synthesis of influences across an unusually broad spectrum. From an early age, he was absorbing the works of Bach, Bartok, Ellington, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Strayhorn, Berg, Villa-Lobos and later Jobim and Dutilleaux. He considered himself an orchestral composer first and foremost. All of his educational degrees reflect this. By the time he had finished his formal education, he had played and become proficient on all wind and string instruments. This gave him the ability to write for them in an absolutely idiomatic manner. Because of his talents across so many genres though, he became busy, well known and respected in the Jazz, Pop and Latin fields. People such as Richard Stoltzman in the classical world, who knew of his orchestral work and commissioned him, found it to be an unparalled approach to chromatic tonality. Building on centuries of history, most of it is incredibly complex in ways that stun those able to analyze it, yet at it's core is a beautifully logical simplicity and thus accessibility beyond the realm of the purely classical. Continuing to write timeless chamber and symphonic works throughout his life, he passed on his distinct harmonic and orchestrational concepts to me through a decades long apprenticeship. Herewith then, following up on his previous orchestral album, After The Rain, as I continue to carry on his legacy, is our latest collection of works: Pensamientos for Solo Alto Saxophone and Chamber Orchestra - All who've seen this score agrees it's one of the most important works for alto saxophone in an orchestral setting. It was started by Clare Fischer in the 1950s, just as his career took off in other directions, finalized in the 1990s, and then remained dormant until I found it recently during my archiving of The Clare Fischer Music Library. The work is something instrumentalists dream of: inventive, challenging and, most importantly, idiomatic. Besides the incredible writing, I found something I had never seen before: the 3 percussion parts (snare drum, bass drum and suspended cymbal) were to be played by a single person on a drumset. Such a logical idea and yet none of us had thought of it. Before we recorded the piece, my father decided to change the chamber string parts into full string section parts. Although it can be performed in it's original form, it appears here as a piece for alto saxophone and large orchestra. Gary Foster did magnificent work conducting the orchestra and then adding his superb saxophone artistry. Miniature - In the early 1970s, a colleague who my father respected very much as a drummer, told him that he was taking up mallets. As a gift, my father wrote this piece for him featuring soprano and standard vibraphones, standard and bass marimbas plus keyboard. The colleague never came by to look at it. It too remained dormant until I was finishing up my degree in symphonic percussion about 15 years later. Then he gave it to me. Recognizing it, even at my young age, as an incredible piece of literature for percussion ensemble, I took on the responsibility of preparing all the parts. Just before we recorded it, he decided to orchestrate the keyboard part for strings. I take great pride that, as a young man, I was able to execute these difficult parts artistically. It's too bad then that when we recently transferred the original 24 track tape to digital format, there were quite a few dropouts. So I had to again prepare these parts to fill in the missing areas. I can say happily it was easier the second time. Interesting note on this recording that as a keyboardist, my father played the shakers and as a percussionist, I played the auxilliary keyboard part. Realización for String Orchestra - This started as a string quartet by a young Clare Fischer in the 1950s. By the late 1980s he had developed it into a piece for a full string orchestra and we recorded it during his final years with Gary Foster conducting. When I was young, the
