A new CD by three musicians and College of The Bahamas music professors is focusing on the preservation and promotion of art and music from The Bahamas and its Caribbean neighbors.
"Deep Blue" by C-Force -- Christian Justilien on the euphonium, Christy Lee on piano and Christine Ganglehoff on flute -- is a compilation of original compositions, transcriptions and arrangements of pieces written in a classical vein while manifesting elements of Bahamian folk culture in the use of theme, rhythm and melody.
The CD will be launched at a special concert performance being held under the patronage of Governor General Sir Arthur Foulkes and Lady Joan Foulkes, on Tuesday, December 3 at 6:30 p.m., Government House Ballroom.
"As The Bahamas celebrates its 40th year of independence, 'Deep Blue' features a combination of works by Bahamian composers and poets as well as pieces inspired by the islands of The Bahamas and their surrounding waters. Included on the disc are works by E. Clement Bethel, Franz Hepburn, K. Quincy Parker, Christian Justilien, Terry Manning and Lucas Manning. Also featured are art work by John Cox and poetry by Marion Bethel," said C-Force.
