The Day It Snowed Tortillas by Alice Gomez is the retelling of a Mexican folktale with brass, percussion and narrator bringing to life an unusual event in the day of a small village south of the border. The Three Billy Goats Gruff by James Scott Balentine is a string quintet that through narrator Timothy Jones tells anew this favorite tale of children. Our third story is based on Aesop’s fable The Golden Ax. With Timothy Jones singing the part of an honest woodsman and also his not so honest brother, and Susan Lorette Dunn as the water nymph who will get at the truth from her watery home, The Golden Ax is a classic of storytelling with music by David Heuser and a libretto by Gary Albright. The CD finishes with the lyrical A Lullaby for Two based on Johannes Brahms beautiful and emotional slow movement of his Double Concerto for Violin and Cello. It is sung with a mother’s poignant love by soprano CPMF favorite Mary Bonhag.

Audiences have clambored for a baroque collection season after season. Stephanie spent days culling through the great performances of the past nine festivals—and as difficult as it was to pare choices down to 73 minutes of music, she put together a magnificent collection. Performed by renowned chamber musicians from the U.S. and abroad that festival audiences have come to expect from Cactus Pear, this compilation is one of beauty, inspired works of art and sensuous music-making. And don't miss the very funny introduction to the Gottfried Finger masterpiece, the trumpet sonata. It's a gem and one-of-a-kind.
