Subject: [LUTE] Ronn McFarlane Nominated for 2009 Grammy Award
| I'm not sure if this is already commonly known, so:

|
| Ronn McFarlane Nominated for 2009 Grammy Award
| Winchester, VA Dorian / Sono Luminus is very proud to announce
that
| world renowned American lute player Ronn McFarlane has been
nominated
| for a Grammy Award as announced by the Recording Academy last
week.
| McFarlanes album Indigo Road (dorian / sono luminus) has been
nominated
| in the Best Classical Crossover Album category. The 51st Annual
Grammy
| Awards are to be held on February 8, 2009.
| McFarlane has devoted himself to reviving the original tradition
of
| lute composers where historically the lute player and the composer
of
| music were one and the same by composing original, modern works
for
| this age-old instrument. Many of the pieces on Indigo Road tread
the
| line between popular, folk, new age and classical music where some
of
| the works draw heavily on Renaissance and Baroque styles, while
others
| are expressed in a more modern musical idiom. The pieces take the
| listener down aural roads from one composition to the next: from
the
| peaks of Denali, to the Pinetops of Maine, into a storming sky in
Blue
| Norther and across Uncharted Waterslisteners are transported to
the
| future through dreams and left feeling wistful and nostalgic as if
| remembering the distant past.
| McFarlane will be recording 2 Videos this week in support of the
album
| and is currently touring in the east coast with famed early music
| ensemble the Baltimore Consort of which he is a founding member.
