Beaty/Skoog/Sato/Nelson/Wang - Margaret Brouwer: Reactions - Songs and Chamber Music

Margaret Brouwer�s music has for decades been admired for 'inhabiting its own peculiarly bewitching harmonic world' (The New York Times). These recently composed pieces reflect her musical representations of particular events: Rhapsodic Sonata charts an internal journey of love, whereas Declaration is a set of songs that addresses ideas of violence and war. Composed at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, I Cry � Summer 2020 outlines a process of isolation and restriction. All Lines Are Still Busy is a satirical monologue that should intrigue anyone who has been placed 'on hold' during a telephone call.
