Eleanor Hovda : Ariadne Music - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
The beautifully mysterious "Song in High Grasses" (1986) for voice, flute, cello and piano was composed around a "yodel-like call" which singer Charlotte Regni (for whom the piece was written) learned as a child living in Zaire, Africa.
"This piece is a sonic visualization of an imaginary outdoor space with tall grasses, large plants, warm winds and somnulant insects, birds and beasts" (Hovda).

 ComposersCollaborative: Solo Flights
The variety of material on this disk is extraordinary and speaks well for the current state of classical and classically inspired music in America.
Compositions range from Andrew Violette's virtuoso Sonatinas (1995), which somehow meld the tinklings of a silent-movie pianist with the mystical chromaticism of Scriabin, to Eleanor Hovda's Spring Music With Wind (1973), a post-Cowell soundscape created by manipulating the interior of a grand piano (it's static but beautiful).
Other standout compositions include David Del Tredici's Opposites Attract (1996), which interleaves the brooding opening of "Tristan" with an elfin snippet from Virgil Thomson's The Mother of Us All; Ursula Mamlock's Schoenbergian miniatures; and Laura Kaminsky's Triftmusik (1991), an evocation of the serenity and grandeur of the Alps.
