Written as a part of the Frank L. Battisti 85th Birthday Commission Project, Neapolitan Ode is a powerful and evocative addition to the repertoire. Utilszing a tone row suggested by Mr. B. himself, Michael Weinstein incorporates a Neapolitan harmonic flavour and a wide range of textures and moods in creating this vehicle of praise for (or ode to) his former conductor/mentor. Dur: ca. 5:00
