The Music of Jeff Harrington or Jeffrey Harrington

KaleidoPsychoTropos for Flute, Clarinet, Violin, Cello and Piano (1995)

Intense syncopations, fiery interruptions, mind-bending climaxes... a gumbo of funk and counterpoint.

"(Harrington) utilized the entire ensemble in an alternately dark and rhythmic collage of styles, textures and bits and pieces from all over the world." - R.L. Ragsdale, Riverfront Times, St. Louis, Mo. (after the November 19, 1995 premiere by Synchronia, Timothy Vincent Clark, Music Director).

"Composer Jeffrey Harrington's 'KaleidoPsychoTropos' set the tone for the evening. The composition, chosen from among 1,060 submitted as a result of a Synchronia call for new scores, was described by the program as a 'boiling pot of gumbo' containing rap-song bass lines, Hungarian and Arabic melodies, ragtime and a little rock 'n roll. Certainly, it is kaleidoscopic, with lots going on all the time, but its development is less like a smooth stew and more like abrupt chunks of sound expertly plastered into place with a little counterpoint." - John Huxhold, Riverfront Times, St. Louis, Mo. (after the May 17, 1996 Synchronia performance).
