AC Marjan Mozetich’s Centrediscs Recording Wins

Associate Composer Marjan Mozetich’s Centrediscs Recording Wins 2010 JUNO Award APRIL 19, 2010, Toronto, ON - Centrediscs, the recording label of the Canadian Music Centre, is thrilled to congratulate Associate Composer Marjan Mozetich on winning the 2010 JUNO Awards in the category of “Classical Composition of the Year” for his work Lament in the Trampled Garden. With Lament in the Trampled Garden, a CBC commission, Mozetich invites his listeners to imagine a remarkable scene; the title stands as a metaphor for the self-inflicted destruction of our surroundings. Yet Mozetich never loses touch with the inherently playful nature of music making, so the emotional and physical challenges are evenly distributed among all players. Lament in the Trampled Garden is one of four works which can be heard on the Canadian Music Centre’s Centrediscs release of the same name; Mozetich’s first Centrediscs release and third recording distributed by the Canadian Music Centre’s independent distribution company. Mozetich selected the works on this CD to showcase his chamber music oeuvre of the past twenty years. Though all four works reflect Mozetich’s own emotional world, they have an enticing, even a questioning openness that compels us to consider them as invitations to imagine. "This collection of works...is solidly tonal music, gorgeously interpreted by two fantastic local chamber ensembles [the Penderecki String Quartet and the Gryphon Trio] and guests. The writing has flashes of brilliance, as Mozetich depicts the flapping of wings in a 1987 piece, Angels in flight" ~ John Terauds, Toronto Star The CD, Lament in the Trampled Garden, was made possible through the financial assistance of the Canada Music Fund and the Canada Council for the Arts , and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Lament in the Trampled Garden is available online at www.musiccentre.ca, through music download services and in major classical music retailers nationwide
