Americana is a uniquely engaging collection of music that embodies the American spirit. This 2012 release from the Modern Mandolin Quartet earned three Grammy nominations and includes compositions from Dvorák, Gershwin, Bernstein, Philip Glass, Keith Jarrett, Copland and Bill Monroe that have defined the American sound in classical music. The MMQ uses the instruments of the mandolin family which correspond to the conventional string quartet (two mandolins, mandola and mandocello) and has arranged and performed over 90 works originally written for orchestra, chamber ensemble, piano, guitar and string quartet. Americana was recorded at Skywalker Sound in California.
“This music attracted us because of the wonderful way it sounds on our instruments, particularly the Dvorák. Since the musical character of the pieces is based on various forms of American music, it lends itself extremely well to the mandolin. While many selections for piano and string music rely on idioms and techniques that may not transpose well to the mandolin, the pieces included were chosen for their vitality and the way they jumped right off the page.”
