The album In Sonorous Falling Tones by Derek Charke, Wired! Ensemble Conducted By Mark Hopkins is a beautifully crafted piece of music that showcases the composer's mastery of contemporary classical music. The album is a collection of seven compositions that are a blend of classical, jazz, and world music.

The album opens with the title track "In Sonorous Falling Tones," which is a hauntingly beautiful piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The piece is characterized by its intricate melodies and rich harmonies, which are expertly performed by the Wired! Ensemble under the direction of Mark Hopkins.

The album also features the piece "Tundra Songs," which is a tribute to the beauty of the Canadian Arctic landscape. The piece is characterized by its sparse instrumentation, which creates a sense of isolation and solitude.
