Somers, New Jersey Campmeeting: A Bloomfield Sabbath [CF:494-03145]

Somers has crafted this work with inspiration from two 19th century composers with New Jersey connections. The familiar hymn tunes of William Bradbury, often sung at camp meetings, can be heard above a “sound wash” not unlike that used by Charles Ives. The work was written for and premiered by the composer's wife, flutist Jan Somers.
