I have really been enjoying the two Myra Melford Fire and Water Quintet records... For the Love of Fire and Water is a suite which deftly emphasizes and affirms the individual personalities and strengths of the players... Hear the Light Singing is a follow-up with several pieces intended as modular "inserts" which are designed to fit in the suite different ways on different performances... I got to hear this in action with the Quintet's Big Ears performance...
