New Music Buff

There is a remarkable consistency of style here suggesting that this composer has a clearly established voice. Clearly Worthington is a master of orchestration as she wields complex orchestral pallets where dissonance, as well as orchestration contribute to the color in a basically tonal framework. … the impression to this listener suggests influences as diverse as Claude Debussy, Jacob Druckman, Daniel Asia, Toru Takemitsu, and Anton Bruckner. This is beautiful though not “pretty” music with complex emotional content that leans in somber, wistful, sometimes haunting, and even nostalgic directions much as an impressionist painting.
