Marcus Goddard’s music has a way of connecting with and expressing the es-sence of the elemental forces of nature. He manifests in sound a sense of the in-evitable; of what was, what is, and what shall be, with a deep emotional connec-tion to the wonders of existence. This is how cellist Ariel Barnes, artistic director of the Archytas Ensemble, describes the music of the Canadian composer. This recording combines three works to a triptych, "one continuous journey to three different landscapes spoken in one common language".
