Mark O'Connor - Fanfare for the VolunteerGreat Scot chose this CD -- a longtime favorite at our house -- for tonight's dinner music, and everyone was very happy. O'Connor is a jaw-dropping Texas fiddler AND a lyrical, gifted classical composer. He pays tribute to the state of Tennessee with this symphonic work. Pure magic, thoroughly American. Proof that there IS great classical music being composed today. Shieldmaiden dreams of being able to go to one of his fiddle camps in Nashville. Maybe next summer...

The HeadGirl approves of this choice. ;-)
I adore this CD. There is more creativity, originality, and lyrical story-telling here than is heard in many classic works. It is simply astounding to me that the human mind can do something this spectacular. Praise the Lord!
