A CD compilation of jazz pieces written as homages to Morton Feldman. The pieces are brought together here for the first time on one CD. The liner booklet includes two photos of Feldman by Irene Haupt and original notes on the pieces by the composers.

In this recording The Bach Players look at what happens when great composers arrange each other’s works. Bach’s mastery of the art of fugue-writing inspired generations of composers to come: Mozart’s arrangements of some of Bach’s fugues are notable instances of this. The main feature of the disc is the little-known arrangement by Bach of Pergolesi’s popular ‘Stabat Mater’. Bach sets the work to the German text of Psalm 51, rewriting the viola part. The result is a striking and beautiful piece.
