Promenade + Rhapsody for a Golden Age

 “My original music for Rhapsody for a Golden Age features a highly virtuosic solo piano as the major spotlight in partnership with the symphonic sounds of a golden age Hollywood orchestra. Straight out of American film history, I have derived inspiration from where it all began, with the New York click-ety-clack rhythms of trains, machines, street traffic, big city sounds, and of course, the clatter of early Hollywood as it sprang to life in the first part of the 20th century.” -Maria Newman
