Description
Chad Twedt’s first album (digital download) of original solo piano compositions, including Ostinato Suites Nos. 1 and 2, 9/11 Portrait, and Life of a Rain Cloud.
Ostinato Suites Nos. 1 and 2 are both four-movement works that utilize the ostinato (a short musical pattern that repeats through most or all of a composition). 9/11 Portrait is an emotional work that both memorializes and copes with the terrible attack on September 11, 2001.
Chad Twedt was awarded the 2005 Nevada Arts Council Fellowship Grant for the composing on this CD, a $5,000 grant awarded based on uniqueness and quality of artistic creation.
