Product Description

Ned Rorem's "Rorem: Day Music & Night Music" is a captivating journey through the realms of neoclassical and avant-garde music, released in 1991 under the Phoenix USA label. This 45-minute album is a testament to Rorem's unique compositional style, blending intricate structures with evocative melodies.
