Harmonious, passionate, and at times tongue-in-cheek, 31 Chorales is evidence of what happens when an award-winning composer and soprano saxophonist commits himself to the creative challenge of a lifetime: to write 31 Bach-style chorales in 31 days in celebration of his 31st birthday.
Inspired by J.S. Bach and containing a variety of consonance and dissonance, the album balances 31 instrumental chorales and 5 chamber pieces for soprano sax, trumpet, bass clarinet and tuba. Funds were raised using Kickstarter’s crowd-funding model.
