The title of Jessie Montgomerys Strum alludes to the guitar-like plucking of strings that starts in calm, fleeting nostalgia reminiscent of American folk music but grows into ecstatic celebration. LA Phil Principal Trumpet Thomas Hooten gives the premiere of Trumpet Fantasy by electric guitarist Steve Mackey whose music blends rock, jazz, and classical. Mackeys concerto explores what he calls fringe states of consciousness in a series of character pieces ranging from light and whimsical to dark and profound, but all presented as equal components of our lives as humans. Rounding out this exploration of human emotion in a more traditional way, Mahlers Fourth Symphony leads us on a journey toward the contemplation of the joys of heaven from a childs point of view, which concludes peacefully with the lowest notes of the harp.
