Releasenotes:
Comprised of three balanced examples of his Continuous Music on solo piano,
Three Solo Pieces serves as perhaps the best introduction the Ukrainian-Canadian
composer Lubomyr Melnyk yet available. ôMarginal Invitationö is a subdued work
with a deeply rooted melodic sensibility that is rich in overtones, while
ôCorrosions on the Surface of Lifeö exhibits a dissonant fury of patterned note
play. The final, side-length meditation ôCloud Passade No. 3ö is a chordal work
in free-time which functions equally well as furniture music and a meditative
exploration of pure light.
Three Solo Pieces is the first set of new Lubomyr Melnyk recordings produced by
Unseen Worlds and his first release for the label since the 2007 reissue of his
debut album KMH: Piano Music in the Continuous Mode (1979). Following that
reissue, efforts were shifted from record projects to introducing MelnykÆs
still-thriving Continuous Music to audiences with a set of memorable and
well-received concerts in Seattle and New York in 2009. Since his popular
rediscovery through a variety of releases on Unseen Worlds, his own and other
labels, as well as being hosted all over the world for concerts, Lubomyr Melnyk
has successfully risen from obscurity and emerged as a welcome new entry in the
history of contemporary classical music, as well as a vital performer for the
21st Century.
