Monument: music of David Sampson – Raymond Mase, Scott Mendoker

Description

From Hommage JFK, which was commissioned to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the opening of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, to Monument, the emotional depiction of the reaction of a Vietnam war veteran visiting The Wall for the first time, David Sampson’s scores touch deep themes with a language that goes beyond philosophy, poetry, or science.
