In This Broad Earth: Music of Steven Bryant

“His compositional virtuosity is evident in every bar” is how John Corigliano describes Steven Bryant.
Virtuosic, smart, impressive, thoughtful, energetic and a little humor thrown in for good measure. The works on this new release of composer, Steven Bryant, is executed with precision by the ever capable Michigan State University Wind Symphony (Kevin L. Sedatole, conductor) and saxophonist, Joseph Lulloff. Taking inspiration from people and places such as Walt Whitman, the Austrian Alps, a trumpet solo and the United States Air Force Band, this release of Bryant’s works are bound for programming by ensembles and orchestras world wide.
