SKU: GI.G-CD-661

Quiet Cities, the sophomore recording of GIA’s Disciple Artist Ryan Meyers, is a collection of heartfelt songs that clamor for awakening. Meyers bravely bares his feelings from the depths of a soul truly enlightened beyond its years. Songs like Running Out of Faith, Quiet Cities, and Boy are honest depictions of the soul-searching, growing pains of a young man of faith, while Middle America, Life as a Carnival, and Wherever Your Treasure Is all beg for an eye-opening awareness to the cynicism, dispassion, and injustice so prevalent in our world. This thought-provoking recording is sure to resonate within anyone who has ever questioned his or her beliefs or path in life, and yet Quiet Cities will leave you filled with hope.

Despite an impressive body of work, little is known about German composer Emilie Mayer (1812-1883). Mayer studied composition with Carl Loewe after the death of her parents, writing a total of eight symphonies, eight violin sonatas, twelve cello sonatas, six piano trios, seven string quartets, seven orchestral overtures, and numerous works for piano and voice. Mayer's works were acclaimed in Germany and she toured frequently performing her music, an unheard of practice for a single woman at the time. Regrettably, however, most of her work remained unpublished at the time of her death. Written in her 30s, Mayer's stormy fourth and final movement from her second symphony reveals her bold Romantic style and growing confidence as a composer. Arranged for string orchestra and timpani, this movement was painstakingly drawn from the handwritten score, offering a profound opportunity for students to experience the music of this incredible composer for the first time.
