CHAMA "THE EAGLE AND THE PLUMED SERPENT" (Violin and Guitar or Flute and Guitar) Peter Ware
Free violin and guitar MP3 excerpt of Peter Ware's Chama from the CD Americas! 
"Its slow unfolding course, in predominantly long violin phrases, has a cobra-like power to hypnotise."   
- Allan Clive Jones, Classical Guitar
"...one of the most compelling things I have heard in years for flute & guitar. . . there is this same free exchange of tensions- moving from the calm to the very tense. Musical ideas are worked out in a very evocative way. Played properly this music will dazzle an audience and thrill the players."
-J. Bent, Soundboard
The work is recorded on the Acoma CD AMERICAS GXD5736.

KABAH: "An exotically evocative piece, describing the atmosphere and spirit of the place with eerie harmonics, long-held notes and often sparse harmonies conveying a sense of vast emptiness and antiquity."
-The Washington Post
"Kabah, inspired by a Mayan ruin in Mexico's Yucatan peninsular, is a forceful and intense piece that yields little to the narrative style."

THE NIGHT RAINBOW  Clarinet, Viola and Piano  11' Peter Ware
"Night Rainbow finds the piano glistening as the clarinet and viola intone mysterious chants. Time is virtually suspended in Ware's pieces, which are mesmerizing in effect."
-Akron Beacon Journal

“The Night Rainbow, a tremendously appealing work for clarinet, viola and piano...”
-Richmond News Leader
Free clarinet, viola and piano MP3 excerpt of Peter Ware's Night Rainbow
Free MP3 of The Night Rainbow    Free score of The Night Rainbow
A Fantasy-Variation, this piece was inspired by the moonbow at Cumberland Falls in Kentucky.  Enchanting melodies of the clarinet and viola/horn weave a texture of atmospheric awe, deliberate and unhurried. The piano, frozen in its higher register, contrasts with a crystallized tone, creating a sense of starkness and desolation.  10 p.  Score & Parts  Clt., Vla, Pno  AE713;  Clt., Hn, Pno  AE497  $14.98
