about

CLOSE ENOUGH TO PERFECT
Works for solo piano from composer Louis Anthony deLise
Louis writes:
I've wanted to make an album of solo piano pieces for a while now, but every time I've tried, I would find myself adding instruments: a cello here, an oboe there, and always, always percussion! The impulse to add other instrumental parts is for me predictable since I've worked my entire career as an arranger and orchestrator (in addition to being a composer and performer). Hearing stuff orchestrated is just what happens in my head!
CLOSE ENOUGH TO PERFECT is my first piano-only album. I invite you to listen and hope you will enjoy!
Do let me know!
The American composer Louis Anthony deLise was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He moved with his family at age six to rural Pennsylvania where he attended public schools and began his music study. He studied jazz drumming as a youngster and taught himself to play the piano by making up tunes and reading through fake books at the family spinet.
Characterized by beautifully poignant melodies and the energy and rhythmic potency of modern rock, deLise’s compositions represent an amalgam of his work in the pop music and academic concert music worlds.
Louis Anthony deLise earned a doctorate in composition at the Boyer College of Music and Dance of Temple University in Philadelphia where he was an Adjunct Lecturer teaching in the Music Theory, Composition and Jazz studies departments.
All selections are published by Bocage Music Publishing, LLC and available in print from Metropolis Music Publishers, bvba. (ummpstore.com/collections/delise-louis)
Recorded at deLise’s Black Walnut Studios in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, USA. Louis plays a Yamaha C3 grand piano, Digital Performer, and Studiologic gear.
