Published by Adrienne Inglis (ASCAP) (A0.953635). Hot off the press! Dramatic, almost operatic song for soprano and piano (with rattle and mallet) that brings to life the tragic story of two Coahuilteco sisters sold into slavery during the Spanish mission era in Texas I am worth nothing (2022), a song for soprano and piano by Adrienne Inglis (ASCAP)Commissioned by Inversion Ensemble for Eternal Graffiti April 9, 2022, Austin, TexasProgram note: Commissioned by Inversion Ensemble and composed by Adrienne Inglis, I am worth nothing sets a stunning Coahuilteco/English poem by Texas poet Lisa Kay Adam. From the phrase PÄ«ntci nakÄ�mmam axÄ�m (I am worth nothing), Adam creates a vivid story of two young Coahuiltecan sisters and their encounters with newly arrived Spanish settlers and mission priests in the eighteenth century. Musically, the florid phrases and haunting modalities join with the sounds of drums and melancholic bells to paint a picture of exploitation, early death, and a lost way of life in the western gulf coastal plains.Text: I am not worthy - PÄ«ntci nakÄ�mmam axÄ�m, poem by Lisa Kay Adam from her book xuÄ�i: mission, house, village, town, published in 2018 by Lamar University Literary Press, used with permissionDuration: 9:06 (at most)World premiere: Eternal Graffiti with soprano Katrina Saporsantos and pianist Benjamin Dia April 9, 2022 Austin, Texashttps://www.chaskimusic.com/adrienne

Published by Jonathan Prentice (A0.884803). Musetta sing's this wonderfully flirtatious waltz, When I Go Along, in Act 2 of Puccini's La Bohème, where she delights in causing her jealous ex-lover, Marcello, as much embarrassment as possible. (Here a tone lower than the original, in D Major, more suitable for mezzos and younger sopranos).

The Secret History of Water, set 2 (Music by Judith Cloud)Poems by Silvia Curbelo SopranoPiano Accompaniment      1.   I’m In Love, I’m Floating (3’25)2.   Last Call (4’13)3.   Janis Joplin (3’24)Compositional Notes I met Cuban-American Silvia Curbelo when we were both artists in residency at the Seaside Institute. When she shared a few of her poems I was immediately taken by the melodic flow of her words, the imagery and her strong delivery. W. S. Merwin has describe her work as …accomplished, daring, full of intelligence; it is the generous first manifestation of an authentic and original gift. This second set of songs from The Secret History of Water was composed for one of my private voice students, a coloratura soprano with excellent pitch retention and a secure range extension. I’m in love, I’m floating is a whimsical poem that captures the essence of being in love, acting foolishly and impulsively, yet somehow grounded in the knowledge that she is still capable of counting her options like black sheep. Last Call is my musical interpretation of Curbelo’s enigmatic poem contemplating different personalities in a bar.  In the third song, Janis Joplin, here is another whimsical, yet deeply touching poem with nostalgia as the key component.I loved including a quote from Me and Bobby McGee. Judith Cloud Lyrics are the poems by Sylvia Curbelo from The Secret History of Water, copyright Silvia Curbelo, 1997, published by Anginga Press, Inc.

If you really pushed me to make a call, Mussorsgky’s Pictures at an Exhibition would be one of my favourite pieces in the classical repertoire. Somewhat outrageously, for a pianist, I prefer the colours and textures of the orchestrated version. I reasonably regularly listen to it, especially in transit. But to be honest, it’s not the kind of music that I perform all that often i.e. music by dead, white, male composers. I mean, it’s 2020 and as the meme says I can’t believe I still have to protest this sh*t. And I feel it too for those in the visual art world. I mean, things are a good deal better over there in contemporary art world, where women are exhibited regularly and everyone seems to embrace it without a fuss. As for women artists from centuries gone by, it’s less good news but they’re working on it. I’m reminded of the situation daily as my older brother, who is excellent at choosing gifts thoughtfully, gave me some Guerrilla Girls merchandise which I use as an iPad cover. Entitled Advantages of Being a Woman Artist, it’s a list of truths that’s pretty relatable for any creative woman. My favourite bit - Being reassured that whatever kind of art you make it will be labeled feminine. Ooft. Too real. And so I conceived of this song cycle as a kind of gift for those fighting the traditional, patriarchal structures of the entire creative sector. Three songs, inspired by three works by three wonderful Australian women artists of last century. All are depictions of scenes around Sydney Harbour. In-curve is inspired by Grace Cossington Smith’s The Bridge in-curve, a depiction of an unfinished Sydney Harbour Bridge, painted in 1930 The Code is inspired by Thea Proctor’s woodcut print Women with fans. It is thought to be a portrait of two other artists, printmakers Ethel Spowers and Eveline Syme, sitting above Rushcutters Bay. Where would we sail? is inspired by a very different view of the same location Still life and Rushcutters Bay by Margaret Olley.

Composer’s Note - Sifting the StarsIn 2015 I was commissioned by Sydney Philharmonia Choirs to create a Christmas show for kids. Being me, I decided that I wanted to make it a narrative show because I’m ambitious that way. It was called Cog in the Machine (a family Christmas tale with a twist) and alongside the carols was a gentle commentary on the commercialisation of the festive season, and how our priorities of family celebration are often overshadowed by the extravagance of gift giving.One of the main characters in the story is a smart, sassy teenage girl called Stella. She loves science, particularly astronomy (hence the name!) and it was therefore a family tradition for her to put the star on the top of the Christmas tree each year. This particular Christmas, she has a bit of a disagreement with her mother and as she’s putting the star on the tree, she goes into a kind of dream sequence, floating about the galaxies inside her head, trying to process her adolescent need for independence and protection in equal amounts. It’s a coming of age song.-- Sally Whitwell

Published by Melanie B Guerin (A0.854332). Comedic song for a soprano who has decided this is no time to be nice! This is an uptempo song with some challenging modulations and a wide range (G3-B5), but a catchy tune and lyrics that poke fun of the belligerence of modern society.The world today’s gone mad, they say,And I feel it’s a fitting rebuke,No sooner you’re meeting a stranger,Than he’s telling you Put up your dukes, There’s no longer a role for a peaceful soul,When you’re caught between muscle and might,If you’re gonna get through,There’s just one thing to do,So you take a deep breath,And you join in the fight! Hit ‘em again,If it’s rough, make it rougher,Someone’s gotta suffer,But you’ll be the one who survives,When they’re aiming to give you the worst,You can beat ‘em by hitting ‘em first!Then hit ‘em again,Hit ‘em again,Hit ‘em again. Hit ‘em again,Make it long, make it lasting,They’re practically askingFor a pummeling right in the puss,They’ll remember how right you areWhen you leave ‘em a permanent scar,Hit ‘em again,Hit ‘em again,Hit ‘em again. A swine who would sooner cut you than concede,But he won’t look half as tough when his nose is bleeding,You can spout your facts and figures but eventually you findIt’s better to make him have to change his pants than change his mind. Hit him again,Make him dance, make him dizzy,Sure it’s brutal, but is heNot a villain deserving of grief?He’s a louse and unless I’m mistook,All his geese should be thoroughly cooked!So hit him again,And then… Hit him again,Make him shake, make him shudder,When he’s starting to sputter,It’s then you go in for the kill,Leave him all in a heap on the pitch,‘Til he’s crying like some little bitch!Hit him again,Hit him again,Hit him again, and then again!

Published by Thomas Oboe Lee (A0.869872). Louise Labé (1524-1566) wrote 24 sonnets.  I read somewhere (probably wikipedia) she was inspired by Francesco Petrach (1304-1374) when she wrote her sonnets, so much so that the first sonnet is in Italian.  In 2014 I wrote a song cycle of poems by Gaspara Stampa who was a contemporary of Labé.  Both poets wrote about the suffering and longing due to unrequited love.  Of the 24 I chose seven.1. Sonnet 1 ... Non havria Ulysse o qualqu'atro mai 2. Sonnet 2 ... O beaus yeux bruns3. Sonnet 3 ... Deus ou trois fois bienheureus la retour4. Sonnet 8 ... Je vis, je meurs: je me brule et me noye5.
