Review:
Champaca is a plant from which an essential oil is extracted that is "used as an anti-depressant and said to soothe and relax the body and strengthen the mind." This delightful new work from Elizabeth Peters will certainly lift the spirits and leave the mind and body feeling joyful. It dances from beginning to end and features time signatures of 6/8 and 2/4 with melodies and countermelodies intermingling with pulsing marted measures. The lilting, triplet-feel eighth-notes in the upper treble in many of the 6/8 measures add to the joy of this work. LV patterns are featured as an accompaniment and dynamics range from p to f with crescendos added for more excitement.
