"In McGegan and Mozart, Gluck, Mozart, and Arriaga speak a common, yet vibrant, musical language using similar forms, harmonies, and instrumentation," said H+H Historically Informed Performance Fellow Teresa M. Neff said. "In practicing their craft with unceasing devotion, their individual voices as composers were formed. The unique voice of each composer, as well as moments of influence, resounds with the instrumental music heard today."
