Written as a part of the Frank L. Battisti 85th Birthday Commission Project, Neapolitan Ode is a powerful and evocative addition to the repertoire. Utilizing a tone row suggested by Mr. B. himself, Michael Weinstein incorporates a Neapolitan harmonic flavor and a wide range of textures and moods in creating this vehicle of praise (or ode) for his former conductor/mentor. Recorded by the New England Conservatory Symphonic Winds - William Drury, conductor. Dur: ca. 5:00
