Seedlings & Branches

Enjoy this recent recording of Lisa Neher’s work, including the world premiere of “branches,” featuring Valdine Ritchie Mishkin, cello and Sarah Tiedemann, flute.

From Lisa Neher’s website, where you can listen to the audio and purchase the sheet music:

seedling was written as a gift for Lisa’s Grandpa Bernie Harvey in honor of his 80th birthday. He was an avid gardener of corn, pumpkin, roses, apples, and all manner of growing things and a quiet and thoughtful listener. All things that grow sprouted and thrived under his loving care.

branches, a companion movement, was commissioned by Third Angle New Music as a birthday gift to Ronni Lacroute. Ronni is an amazing force of philanthropy and support of the arts in Portland. Her energetic, joyful spirit and enormous generosity inspires everyone she touches with her wide-reaching arms.
