"It’s filled with a wonderful texture and tone that, like the string quartet—here using a pair of piccolos, flute and alto flute to provide the homogeneity of sound—allow for a wide range of expression and colour. The writing is carefully crafted, somewhat of an ode to the reality of Canadian countryside and temperatures; for a time it seems the leaves swirl upwards from their wintry graves, before a petite Invitation to the Dance takes a brief turn even as the airy lines slip back to a state of rest." - James Wegg Review

Frozen Leaves - Vivace Flute Quartet

I. Allegro
II. Andante Animato
III. Presto 

"Mark Fromm’s Dances of the Lake is a silvery soundscape which demonstrates the composer’s ability to employ both sound and substance in shaping his music. Shimmering gossamer tone immediately attracts the ear in the first movement as the collective searches for consonance—surviving a few scrappy interventions—with nearly perfect pitch. The “Andante animato’s” solo line bends easily into consciousness over a bed of dark silver while the harmonic journey seems secure until a pang of bitter sweetness provides artistic truth and pause. The marking “flutteranzo” might well be invented for the engagingly energetic “Presto” which can’t help but fathom up the ghosts of Ibert and Satie. A series of broad, big chords then set the stage for a quick race to the cottage door." - James Wegg Review
