"Songs in the Rear View Mirror"

Part road trip and part childhood reminiscence, Songs in the Rear View Mirror is an evocative and haunting musical portrait of Southern life and art. With Frazelle’s unique synthesis of folk song and art song, this work takes listeners on a journey past abandoned barns, tangles of kudzu and evangelizing road signs, and is one of Kenneth Frazelle’s most ambitious works. The work’s ten songs are united by refreshing harmonies, coloristic piano writing, and the undulating rhythm of the highway.
