| ALBUM NOTES |
Recently, women composers have gained more attention, with scholarly works and popular media devoted to the lack of performances by these womens music. This is not solely an intellectual exercise or a feminist venture; by failing to program womens compositions, we miss the wealth of creativity, expertise, and emotion that emanates from these works. Conductors tend to program familiar pieces, and lesser-known works like those of women composers lack the wealth of recordings and performance histories that men composers enjoy. This project intends to help fill the recording void of women-created wind band music; by recording these pieces, we assist in creating more equal opportunities and increased prestige for these excellent women composers.
This project includes two pre-existing works with soloists: Ivette Herryman Rodriguezs piece Black montuno, and Catherine Likhutas piece Home Away from Home. Additionally, this recording features three world premieres: Andrea Venets This Prismosonic Rock I Stand, Holly Harrisons And Whether Pigs Have Wings (version for wind band), and Marie Douglas Concerto for Flute + Wind Ensemble.
