A brief video made as part of a recording project at the Gateway Regional Arts Center.
Hinterlands by John Tyree
Hinterlands was written as a musical homage to the Red River Gorge in Kentucky. The term is often used to describe areas that are deeper in the woods and typically less traveled by hikers. The soft minimalistic theme is inspired by the atmosphere of the Gorge and the scenes found along the many trails. Recorded at the Gateway Regional Arts Center. Sheet music available soon.
Crystalline by John Tyree
Crystalline is a quintet for orchestra bells written in early 2017 for five sixth grade percussionists at Pikeville Elementary School. The quintet is meant to challenge students to count and play contrasting phrases against what is around them – each part is of equal importance to the overall piece as the melody line is passed between each of the players. Recorded at Pikeville High School.
