Waterway (BGR 175, Dec 2008) Compositions by Bergeron/Maret
Carmen Maret and Andrew Bergeron
of the Grand Rapids based husband and wife duo, Folias, present a CD
with all newly composed pieces inspired by Lake Superior. The compositions
on the CD explore possibilities for rhythm, timbre, and form with the
flute and guitar, a chamber format that that duo has developed over
the past five years.
Waterway is Carmen
Maret and Andrew Bergeron’s third CD since they combined in 2003.
This is also their first CD to contain all original compositions. The
works on the CD were written over a two year period beginning with the
duo’s music written for an international tour around Lake Superior
in 2006 that served as a fundraiser for the Great Lakes Division of
the Nature Conservancy and continued with the duo’s appointment
as Artists-in-Residence on Isle Royale National Park during the summer
of 2007.
