Lou Harrison isn’t your typical New Music composer. For starters， he’s remarkably consistent， churning out impressive compositions over several decades that vary in style， but are never inaccessible. His music is richly melodic， percussive， culture-melding， and， more often than not， beautiful. This description applies to Rhymes with Silver， a commission Harrison wrote for the Mark Morris Dance Group. The highlights here are the rich lyrical passages performed by cellist Joan Jeanrenaud (formerly of the Kronos Quartet)， which are contemplative but also playful. Joining the cello are parts for violin， viola， piano， vibraphone， and percussion. Though this sounds like a twist on a typical chamber music quintet， there’s little typical in this work’s 12 movements. From the driving rhythms of ?Gigue & Musette? to the sentimental ?Romantic Waltz? to the pounding chords of ?Fox Trot，? this CD is a joy to listen to--humorous， exotic， and inquisitive. --Jason Verlinde
