Each work, as the composer reflected, is for a different solo instrument and explores the expressive possibilities. Some composers of the latter half of the 20th century have explored this idea, notably Luciano Berio (14 Sequenzas), Vincent Persichetti (25 Parables), and Elliott Carter (6 Figments and 5 Retrachings). Coincidentally, these are some of my favorite composers. This Tableau was written for my friend Andrew Gantzer (Juilliard '23)."

Inspired by the various species of butterflies inhabiting the continent, this work is full of rich color, with butterflies dancing and weaving in syncopated rhythms while alternating between the feel of 3 over 4 throughout. Its slower sections pay homage to the beautiful and sorrowful sounds in the style of Yaravi, a Peruvian lament song. The melodies and rhythm eventually evolve into the spirit and syncopation of Argentinean concert tango, and the conclusion returns to the feel of Yaravi. For advanced players."

Title A name given to the resource Between Worlds Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2019 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Simon, Carlos (b. 1986) Description An account of the resource African-American composer, curator and activist Carlos Simon wrote "Between Worlds" for solo violin or cello or solo double bass. The text related to the project and its title are borrowed from and organized in relation to Leslie Umberger's Smithsoninan American Art Museum exhibit Between Worlds: The ARt of Bill Traylor, the first major retrospective organized for an artist born into slavery. From the composer's website: "Bill Traylor was born a slave in Alabama in 1853 and died in 1949. He lived long enough to see the United States of America go through many social and political changes. He was an eyewitness to the Civil War, Emancipation, Reconstruction, Jim Crow segregation and the Great Migration. As a self taught visual artist, his work reflects two separate worlds— rural and urban, black and white, old and new. In many ways the simplified forms in Traylor’s artwork tell of the complexity of his world, creativity, and inspiring bid for self-definition in a dehumanizing segregated culture. This piece is inspired by the evocative nature as a whole and not one piece by Traylor. Themes of mystical folklore, race, and religion pervade Traylor’s work. I imagine these solo pieces as a musical study; hopefully showing Traylor’s life between disparate worlds."

Title A name given to the resource Sonoran Storm Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ngwenyama, Nokuthula (b. 1976) Description An account of the resource American composer of Zimbabwean (Ndebele) and Japanese descent Nokuthula Ngwenyama composed "Sonoran Storm" for viola in 2016. As liner notes describe: "Humidity rises in the desert. That scorch blaster hitting teh face feels fuller and expectant upon exit. Haboob dust causes a metal gate to clang. It's bulging brown outside. Feet scamper across parched earth as clouds approach. Expanding into the atmosphere, they amass to quench aridity's obsession. Anti-trades carry sea moisture across Baja California to the Sierra Madres during the monsoons. It drifts north across el Camino del Diablo and swirls above the Mogollon Rim. Cumulus giants, made stronger by el Nino, dwart the eastern landscape. The sun sets, the earth cools, and the desert braces for thermal dynamism. Tree branches partner with updrafts while downdrafts pelt the land. Angular veins shoot through darkness. Thunder rumbles with an abusive baritone's vigor while the saguaro leads succulents in thirsty supplication, arms toward the sky. Statis tendrils demand audience: jagged voltage constructs melody in joyful obeisance. Virga stop teasing as ten miles of heaven drop to the floor (section A). Big weather enjoys a snail-paced game of bumper cars, reforming whilst aboreal cards stand empty. It's calm. Is it over? Abated leaves bathe in temporary starlight (section B). But summer westerlies do not relent, and another thunderhead descends. The romp resumes, culminating in a celebration of renewal and life (section A1). Sonoran Storm received its world premiere April 15, 2016 in Zipper Hall at The Colburn School in Los Angeles with members of the advanced modern dancers chorographed by Tamsin Carlson."

Title A name given to the resource Wood That Sings Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2019 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Davids, Brent Michael Description An account of the resource American Indian citizen of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of the Mohican Nation, Brent Michael Davids' "Wood That Sings" was composed for solo violin. As written on the composer's website, "Wood That Sings is composed for solo viiolin with scordatura re-tuning of its low string, evokes the rhythms and refrains of the single-stringed Apache violin. The Western violin's G string is tuned down to a low A in bass clef, creating the characteristic 'buzzy' quality that spawned the Apache violin's 'buzzer' nickname. The work contains an Apache violin-like melody and the rhythms borrow from both the duple and triple beats of indigenous songs. Western musical techniques are also incorporated, such as double, triple and quadruple stops, harmonic and tritone sonorities, and printed music notation, all of which do not occur in traditional Apache violin songs. Often twisting and leaping from one to another, the indigenous and western phrases bounce like horsehair bows would dance on either a Western or Apache stringed instrument. The work is intended to be a strong, challenging, virtuosic, shake-a-leg experience for both performer and audience." The work was comissiooned by Dr. Katherine McLin and edited by Michael DiBarry.

Title A name given to the resource Juan Soldado Suite Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2009 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Martin, Andrés Description An account of the resource Argentinian composer Andrés Martin wrote the "Juan Soldado Suite" for solo bass, a work with seven contrasting movements. On the website of the Juan Soldado Suite, Martin writes: "The piece uses the complete range of the instrument, exploring a variety of timbres and techniques, enriched by the use of basic electronic effects (Reverb, Delay, Chorus, etc.) which enhance the timbral variety and amplify certain harmonics and multiphonics. [...] Many of the movements of the Juan Soldado Suite are about different states of mind, such as “Rage” (musically describing Juan Soldado running for his life and the executors shooting him, watched by many of Tijuana´s citizens who wanted justice and to see him die…) or the “Elegy”, which imagines what Juan Soldado sang to himself when informed that he was sentenced to die. “The Myth” describes how the stories and rumors that began surfacing after his death grew and grew, until they brought to life the Myth of Juan Soldado, the Saint of Migrants. How can someone start as a murderer and rapist and end up being a Saint??? The Juan Soldado Suite does not intend to tell a linear story or be a descriptive work. The piece is inspired by this particular story, but also speaks to broader human ideas and experiences. Some movements of the Juan Soldado Suite for Solo Bass are currently published by the American publisher Really Good Music and can be purchased at their website: <a href="https://www.reallygoodmusic.com">www.reallygoodmusic.com</a>."
