Peter Garland’s “The Basketweave Elegies” is an elegant and beautiful nine-movement work for solo vibraphone. Garland writes: “Anyone who knows me knows of my lifelong interest in basketry (and my collection!). My admiration for basketry and basket makers also extends to a kind of traditional lifestyle and art practice, one that is often rural, attuned to the natural world and the seasons. . . . I want to write music that is well-made, sturdy, useful, and beautiful—like a basket.” The piece is performed by William Winant, about whom SPIN magazine wrote, “Winant has been the avant-elite’s go-to percussionist for more than 35 years.”
