about

Kathryn Bennetts and Peter Bowman, Recorders

'A Journey Among Travellers' is one of a number of pieces written by Donald Bousted in collaboration with Kathryn Bennetts and Peter Bowman. Their project, which has involved the formation of quarter-tone fingerings for the recorder, includes the publication of The Quarter-Tone Recorder Manual (Moeck Nr. 2084) which prepares the advanced player for the performance of structured quarter-tone music.

“Donald Bousted’s cycle of microtonal pieces for recorders is dedicated to the proposition that this humble woodwind is destined to become, in the composer’s own words, “a major protagonist in the music of the 21st Century”. … Bousted has created a series of tiny masterpieces. It would be reassuring to think that some small portion of the next millennium had been set aside for them. Wonders on so modest a scale tend to be in short supply these days.”
