This album marks composer Frank Horvat‘s final release in a trilogy that covers the epic year that has been. He began 2021 with the healing electronic sounds of Happiness in a Troubled World, followed by solos for our time, Music for Self-Isolation, and now Horvat releases Project Dovetail. This latest emotionally fervent album, featuring some of Canada’s top chamber musicians, showcases the continued importance of art in our world.
Art inspires and opens minds to new ideas. Horvat has taken the art that inspires him and dovetailed it into music. Enchanted by Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist, moved by political activist Vaclav Havel’s writings, and amused by director John Waters’ ‘hero’ Pecker, the music in this playlist-like album, of varied instrumentation, engages, stimulates, and entertains.
Why must modern classical music always be associated with intellectualism? Why can’t it also make people laugh, cry, or be scared? Why can’t an album of modern chamber music have a theatrical sensibility even though it’s instrumental music?
“They’ve created works that have impacted me. I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce others to these inspirations by dovetailing our art forms together,” said composer Frank Horvat.
This album celebrates the work of two Canadian artists, who are masters in their respective fields – one, the best-selling author Suzanne Desrochers; the other, master printmaker Lorna Livey. Lorna’s Metamorphosis offers a fascinating insight into the life of an artist.
