Title: dull shadows and bright lights
Review: Harris is variably gifted. From the highest plain of genius to hack work--however professionally wrought--few were as comfortable in older forms than Harris. The Quintet is highly touted, but it is a portion of the violin sonata that touches the heart. Once in a while in Shoatakovch as he is meandering along, an exquisite melody emerges as if the composer just awakened to it. Harris does this sometimes. In his choral work 'We Know that Susan Takes her Studies lightly' for female choir and piano you have a lovely from the heart sweet caprice, thus Harris has the beauty of song within his heart and it is certainly worth waiting for--patiently I must add-- for much of his choral work is not of the best quaity in terms of creative essence--however he always demonstrates a consummate well schooled professionalism.If you would want to take a relaxed and pleasant promenade with Harris, then hear this violin sonata, you won't be sorry.
