NEXUS RECORDS – Downloads

(m4a or .wav audiofiles with album notes on .pdf files)

The Story of Percussion in the Orchestra is based on a symphonic
program, created and performed by NEXUS. The CD, narrated by PBS personality,
Bill Moyers, describes how the standard percussion instruments – timpani, bass drum,
cymbals, triangle, tambourine, snare drum and xylophone – became a part of the
modern symphony orchestra, from the late 1600s to the present day, with music by
Lully, Mozart, Beethoven, Britten, Cahn, George Hamilton Green. PRICE $9.00

Origins – The 7 tracks on the “Origins” album are unrehearsed improvisations. The music was
recorded directly from the studio floor to two track digital tape. The only musical decisions made by
the individual members of NEXUS in advance of the recording were the selections of instruments –
percussion and otherwise – from their extensive collection. Through many years of performing
together, the group’s five members developed a unique rapport, allowing them to create the world
that is a NEXUS improvisation. PRICE $5.00

Persian Songs is an arrangement of compositions by the Iranian writer and musician
Reza Ghassemi. Sepideh Raissadat, who was a student of Russell Hartenberger at the
University of Toronto, introduced Hartenberger to the music. Ghassemi permitted the songs
to be arranged for NEXUS and Sepideh. The result is the suite, Persian Songs. Moondog
Suite is a selection of six of compositions by Louis T. Hardin (aka Moondog) arranged by
Russell Hartenberger for percussion instruments. PRICE $9.00

The City Wears a Slouch Hat – Music of John Cage – NEXUS continues
to champion Cage’s music with this revival of Dance Music for Eldfrid Ide, CREDO in US,
and The City Wears a Slouch Hat, Cage’s first-ever radio play, subtitled “Incidental Music
for a Radio Play by Kenneth Patchen.” The music accompanying the radio play was
composed in 1942 for percussion ensemble and four readers on commission from CBS
Radio. PRICE $9.00

Home is a CD comprised of four original compositions: 1) Home Trilogy (2015) by
Michael Burritt, featuring the composer as marimba soloist; 2) DDT (2015) by Libby
Larsen; 3) The Crystal Cabinet (2008) by William L. Cahn, and 4) This World (2015) by
William L. Cahn featuring Katherine Ciesinski as vocal soloist. PRICE $9.00
Sculptured Sound – The First Concert is the first live concert by NEXUS –
Bob Becker, Bill Cahn, Robin Engelman, and John Wyre. It was performed on May 22,
1971 in Kilbourn Hall at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, and it
was entirely improvised on an array of world percussion instruments collected by the
members of NEXUS. PRICE $5.00

Quantum Fields – Music of Bill Cahn was performed by the composer
acoustically on a variety of percussion instruments, consisting mostly of Asian bells,
gongs, and metal tubes. The title comes from a fascination with the strangeness of the
cosmological concepts on the nature of the universe in quantum field theory, in which at
the most fundamental level, everything in the universe consists of fields which have the
potential to vibrate locally as particles. PRICE $5.00
