Aftermath reflects the familiar emotions that we all feel following a traumatic blow, whether due to lost love, life, or significant election. Anguish, resignation, anger, fond memories of the past, anxiety for the future, all mix uncontrollably. for an unpredictable amount of time.
Aftermath was written in the early days of 2017, for the radiant Rachel Huang, and for the rest of us.

Virko Baley
(Ukraine/USA, b. 1938)
Music for Emily Dickinson
Uniforms of Snow
Ten Songs without Words
Lucy Shelton, soprano Cleveland Chamber Symphony Virko Baley, conductor
Karen Bentley Pollick, violin Timothy Hoft, piano
NEW RELEASE: September 1st 2023
Virko Baley was born in Ukraine in 1938 and came to the USA as a refugee in 1949, eventually making his home in Las Vegas. He has long been fascinated by the poetry of Emily Dickinson, as can be heard in the two moving works recorded here – one an orchestral song-cycle setting her texts, the other a suite for violin and piano inspired by those settings. They display an acute ear for orchestral colour, a fondness for dramatic gesture and a strong sense of lyricism, occasionally inflected by distant echoes of Baley’s eastern European origins, the richness of the song- cycle placing him downstream from Mahler and Berg and the restraint of the Songs without Words occasionally evoking Arvo Pärt.
