Genesis—Modern eclectic classical.

Genesis CD cover Amazon Button (via NiftyButtons.com)

William Ramsay did not consider labels to be limits. He was equally comfortable and talented as a writer, a physicist, and a composer of music. His music appeals to the intellect as well as the ear. These pieces draw inspiration from a broad range of sources, from Scott Joplin and Dvorak, to a pair of red shouldered hawks that nested year after year in a Monterey cedar tree near his home in Santa Barbara. The title piece, Genesis, is an interpretation of the Book of Genesis from the King James Bible. They are performed on piano, flute, violin, and violoncello. Two of the twenty-eight compositions feature mezzo-soprano vocals. Performed and recorded by professionals, this is the collection of his music that William Ramsay chose to share with the world.
