Composed in 1939 for a radio show introducing audiences to American folk music, RISSOLTY ROSSOLTY is warmly entertaining yet surprisingly complex. Some elements are reminiscent of both Copland and Ives, and Crawford’s inventiveness is on full display, juggling three different tunes into a mesmerizing polyphonic dance.
