"Dancing at the Pink House" is contemporary classical music infused with popular dance rhythms and echos of swing clarinet. Midway through the piece, "America the Beautiful" peeks out from behind the piano chords, and, near the conclusion, makes a full-blown appearance. Terry Riley calls composer Howard Hersh "one of the masters of California's thriving new music scene... This is music of the Heart guided by a keen intelligence." Performed by Patricia Shands, clarinet, and James Winn, piano; recorded and mixed at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California by Adam Munoz, editing by Carl Serpa. Produced by Howard Hersh, Justin Hersh and Brenda Tom. This recording was made possible in part through a Scholarly and Artistic Activity Grant from the University of the Pacific Cover art by Douglass Truth (www.douglasstruth.com). Graphic design by Gillian Hersh.
