Premiere of "Chroma" reviewed by Hyde Park Herald
“Chroma” by David Bird explores “subtle gradients of instrumental color, as well as the malleability and reflective properties of metal.” This work is glorious in the color and shading of sounds that the composer forges, with the Grossman Ensemble creating lush sound alloyed with sparkle. This is spectral music, where rhythm is subordinate to timbral effects which Bird wrote effectively and the Grossman Ensemble performed with staggering power. The overtones they created were intense and almost hypnotic.
