This is Osvaldo Golijov's stirring, eclectic cantata, "Oceana", scored for orchestra, SATB chorus, boys choir, two guitars, and a vocal soloist, filled with Latin and jazz influences. The title is a reference to Oceanus, son of Uranus and Gaia in Greek mythology, and the sense of the sea and its tides is clearly created in the tones and rhythms of the choir and orchestra.

Nick Bentz wrote about his chamber piece, Glimpse:
Glimpse is a piece that I wrote as I found myself fascinated at the way and speed at which our brains catalog information. The human brain is a complex machine that often works in ways that we’re unable to readily perceive – one of these subliminal processes being facial recognition. The brain constantly perceives and creates patterns among the faces that we encounter, even in passing, using information from all around us to infer how we might interact with one another. It’s through the repeating of similar stimuli that we’re able to quickly read emotions and situations in order to best ascertain how to act, or to unlock our own empathy towards each other. However, these same processes can yield implicit biases, shortchanging the very people we see. Glimpse is structured and derived from a five-pitch set which is constantly run through various processes. As these processes repeat, the material begins to ‘learn’ from bar-to-bar and gesture-to-gesture, playing with and sometimes against the very rules that it finds itself entrapped within.

Andrew Rindfleisch writes in the program notes for his wonderful brass quintet, In the Zone:
In the Zone is a reverent nod to the popular instrumental form of the late Renaissance and early Baroque, the canzone. Often associated with the early precursors of modern brass instruments, the instrumental canzone was a form often dominated by contrapuntal and imitative textures. In The Zone is a two-movement work exploring those aspects of counterpoint, imitation, and polyphony so often found in those late-Renaissance forms — here intensified, transformed, and woven into a virtuoso vehicle for brass quintet. In The Zone is dedicated to the Meridian Arts Ensemble.
