[Excerpts]
Alvin Singleton’s latest CD, Sweet Chariot,
featuring seven works by the Atlanta-based composer, is out this month
on Albany Records. It’s the third “portrait” album of all-Singleton
music from that label and the fourth all-Singleton album among his
overall discography.
After 14 years of living in Europe, the Brooklyn-born and raised Singleton moved to Atlanta in 1985 when he accepted a three-year appointment as composer in residence with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. When that residency was over, Singleton decided to remain in Atlanta. Ever since, his continuing national and international recognition has remained unparalleled for an Atlanta-based composer. Just this year, at age 73, Singleton was elected to the prestigious American Academy of Arts and Letters, an honor that is limited to 250 members total, all elected by member peers.
