This is Neil Slade's original orchestral recording, a one year long project paid for by hundreds of donations from music lovers in the Denver area- thus, the "People's Suite".
The People's Suite features members of the Denver Symphony and other professionals, along with detailed digital synthesized orchestral parts. After premiering on Denver's premier classical music radio station KVOD, this recording then toured the U.S. as part of a Kodak photograph exhibition and premiered nationally as the soundtrack for a PBS documentary to rave reviews, and was nominated for a regional Emmy award.
The orchestral suite is followed by Fred's Field, a Fred Poindexter and Neil Slade duet on bamboo flute and electronic harp-keyboard (2000), and then a woodwind ensemble chamber composition, "The Einstein Taxicab Quartet" (1984) (see link for article and video).
The album then features Neil playing an original alto saxophone solo, "The Royal Starch", written with Stravinsky's "The Soldier's Tale" in mind. (1977)
Then concludes with two modern piano-sax duets written by Darius MIlhaud and Henri Tomasi, originally written for orchestra and sax, here presented with Dee Netzel featured on piano (1977).
