Thanks, DJ! There is no studio recording of this piece in the 4-hand version. I actually got a 10K grant from the Argosy Foundation to make a recording that was going to include these pieces, but then the financial crisis hit, and they were forced to withdraw their support. Sigh.

I LOVE these movements, i was wondering where do i go to download these? i heard it on the radio, and wanted it. I have seen where do download them for the guitar, but i would like the MP3 of these recordings for Piano. Where can i download them?

We have performed From the Faraway Nearby in several occasions, from recitals held at National Public Radio affiliates to church halls and New Music Festivals. Everytime, this seemed to be one of the best received works by the audience. Griffin’s craft is evident in the writing of independent lines, the imaginative use of diatonic harmonies, and, above all, a rhythmic energy that is his trademark.
We plan to give many more performances of this work in the nearby and faraway futures!
