AGP122 is our
second installment featuring works by the American composer Donald Erb,
who passed away in August at the age of 81. For more information on the
composer, see the AGP97 page in the archive or this biography.
Tracks 07-10 are a transcription of a Louisville Orchestra First
Editions Records LP that I found in a used record store after AGP97 was
released. The recordings on this LP are brilliant, and the works
exhibit Erb's rich and intriguing orchetral style. More than the works
in AGP97, these reminded me in places of Jacob Druckman's orchestral
works.
Tracks 11-13 were provided by an Erb enthusiast and were transcribed
using unknown analog equipment. The transcriptions have a somewhat
darker, indistinct sound than you may be accustomed to from other AGP
transcriptions. I could not transcribe these myself because I do not
have copies of the LPs, so I offer these transcriptions instead to
provide a wider sampling of Erb's compositions.
The installment includes a PDF file with scans of the liner notes of
the LP from which tracks 07-10 were transcribed.
