A Ballet And A Fantasie

Chicago-based composer Bryan Doherty is proud to present his tenth studio album,

A Ballet And A Fantasie. The Riddle Door is a ballet written for five winds, five strings, and percussion, with a libretto also written by Doherty. Outside Motion In Stillness is a fantasie written for five winds, five strings, and soprano.

These two pieces mark a distinct moment in Doherty’s creative output as he returns to fully-inked acoustic music. Driven by a strong desire to explore different structures and flows, Doherty has achieved two finely crafted long-form pieces that are sure to enchant the listener with their musical vividness.
