http://www.davidthomasroberts.com/ Neo-Romantic composer David Thomas Roberts performs his title work from the 2005 CD which includes pieces by Harold Budd and Scott Kirby as well as his own. "Discovery" was commissioned by Ann Edwards of Columbia, Missouri and composed in 2004 in observance of the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Composer-pianist, visual artist and writer David Thomas Roberts was born in Moss Point, Mississippi in 1955 and was painting, composing and writing by age eight. He has written over 120 works for piano and numerous chamber, vocal and electronic pieces. Though he has worked in various genres from his late teens, it is for his unique contribution to New Ragtime and its related idiom, Terra Verde, that he is best known. While still in his twenties, he came to be regarded as the leading living composer of piano rags and was hailed by New Orleans historian Al Rose as "the most important composer of this half century in America."
