ALAN TERRICCIANO about OTHER DANCES, OTHER SONGS
An award-winning composer and pianist, Alan Terricciano (1961 -) works primarily as a collaborative artist in the fields of modern dance, ballet and theater. He has performed at City Center in NY, the Paris Conservatoire, and Seijong Cultural Center in Seoul, Korea. His compositions have been performed by the Minnesota Orchestra and the Northwestern University New Music Ensemble and have been performed at the Carpenter Center, the Ford Ampitheater, and the Joyce Theater in NYC. Alan has regularly collaborated with choreographers Donald McKayle, Douglas Nielson, David Grenke, Liz Lerman and Colin Connor, and composed many theatrical scores over the last decade for the New Swan Shakespeare Festival. The works on this album span the last twenty years of his creative output and two of them – “Closer Orbits” and “Baltimore Gambol” (Piano Trio #2, mvmt. 2) were originally commissioned and premiered in choreographic settings. The title of the first piano trio, “Other Dances, Other Songs,” serves equally well as the title for the whole recording. The spirit of song and dance is never far away.
