Our first EP just dropped!

Our first EP for Musings just dropped right in time for Burns Night!

O, Were I on Parnassus Hill

Muse: Robbie Burns’s poem & Hernández Rosa’s years in Scotland and Galician Ancestry.
Composers: Gail Hernández Rosa & Daniel Turkos

In this setting, the poetry of Robbie Burns takes center stage. The sparse opening melody evokes the distant Corsincon hillside, while pizzicato strings echo the trickle of the River Nith.

Within the guitar’s resonance lives a tribute to Galicia’s Spanish Celtic heritage—a musical whisper passed down through generations. Burns gazes upon the Scottish landscape and remembers his wife dancing on the hill—a moment of aching beauty.

The music mirrors this memory: beginning with minimalist text painting before blossoming into lush, springlike harmonies.

Jig from Reimagined

Muse: Bach Minuets & Gigue, from Cello Suite No. 1, BWV 1007 & a seed planted by a dear friend
Composers: Gail Hernández Rosa & Daniel Turkos

A highly respected colleague and lifelong Bach interpreter once shared their belief that “Bach never wrote melodies—only harmony.” This single statement became the seed for Reimagined.

What happens when Bach’s solo lines—played here on octave mandolin—are treated purely as harmonic material? What emerges when a new violin melody is composed atop Bach’s implied bass and inner voices?

The result is a dialogue across centuries: Bach’s harmonic genius transformed into a foundation for new musical storytelling.
