Small chamber ensembles - 2-4 Pl by New York Women Composers

Beth Anderson

Brass Swale (1988) 5", tbn, 2 Bfl tpts, bar. hn

Tonal. Commissioned/Premiered by the Redlands' New Music Ensemble. (A swale is a meadow or a marsh where a lot of wild plants grow together. The composer discovered the word when a horse named Swale won the Kentucky Derby several years ago. Since her work is primarily collage of newly composed musical swatches, she has used the name extensively.) ACA - American Composers Alliance

Dr. Blood's Mermaid Lullaby (1980) 3', fl or ob, or vn, or vc, pn

Guitar Swale (1993) 6', 2 guit

Commissioned/premiered by the University of the Redlands New Music Ensemble for two acoustic guitars. Combines oriental scales with Satie-like lyricism. ACA - American Composers Alliance

January Swale (1995) 5', 2 vln, vla, vc

First performed by the Clearwater String Quartet. This is a swale that includes a lot of partying framed by a theme going forwards at the beginning and backwards near the end, a Janus. Because it was written with cellist Carol Buck and her children, there is a small children's theme just after the introduction which runs in and out later on in the piece. An aeolian alleluia interupts and returns later a half-step down. It ends with a feeling of a "starry night" at the original tonal center.
