In Time of Silver Rain: Seven Poems of Langston Hughes is released on iTunes & amazon.com. In this album that was music edited by Shie, composer Lior Rosner uses his music to liberate Hughes’ words from the boundaries of historical context. Rosner’s modern settings challenge us to consider the contemporary relevance of Hughes’ frank and often searing meditations on the universal themes of oppression, loss, frustration and love. While the emotions captured in these songs are indeed timeless, beneath the undeniable modernity of Rosner’s music, there are subtle harmonic nods to the jazz that provided the sonic backdrop for the Harlem Renaissance. Acclaimed soprano Janai Brugger sings, with Rosner accompanying on piano.
