Editor's info:
The center of this program is Dark Queen Mantra, a quintet commissioned, premiered, and recorded by Del Sol and Gyan in 2015 in honor of Terry’s 80th Birthday. Never one to be hemmed in by convention, Terry continued composing additional movements since then – his music keeps growing like a river.

Dark Queen Mantra is available as on all-Riley concert including his rarely played The Wheel & Mythic Birds Waltz, or in mixed programs chosen from music by Stefano Scodanibbio, Ben Johnston, Chinary Ung, Ruth Crawford Seeger, Huang Ruo, and Gabriela Lena Frank.

The all-Riley program includes:
Terry Riley: G Song (1980)
Terry Riley: Dark Queen Mantra (2015).
Terry Riley: The Wheel & Mythic Birds Waltz (1983)

The mixed program is chosen from:
Stefano Scodanibbio: Mas Lugares (2003)
Ben Johnston: String no. 10 (1995)
Huang Ruo: Calligraffiti (2009)
Gabriela Lena Frank: new quartet (2017)
Chinary Ung: Spiral X (for amplified string quartet & vocalizations)
Ruth Crawford Seeger: Quartet (1931)

BBC Music Magazine * * * *
There’s nothing random about his composing: Riley’s leading inspirations, the cycles of Indian music and the canons of Bach, underpin each work…[The Wheel and Mythic Birds Waltz] has a raw, dancing immediacy in the hands of these high-level players.
