Elena Ruehr writes, “This volume offers a compilation of my orchestral music, including those works that I composed as a graduate student at the Juilliard School (Sky Above Clouds) and the University of Michigan (Vocalissimus), during my early career (Shimmer, Ladder to the Moon), and relatively recently (Cloud Atlas, Summer Days).”Elena Ruehr: O’Keeffe Images on #BMOPsound / https://bmopsound.bandcamp.com/album/elena-ruehr-okeeffe-imagesSave 20% with code BMOP20WHM#WomensHistoryMonth

Earlier this month, composer Bernard Rands passed away in Chicago, Illinois. #BMOP was fortunate to program and perform his compositions multiple times in concert, and record the Canti trio of works: Canti dell’Eclisse for bass and orchestra; Canti Lunatici for soprano and orchestra; and the Pulitzer Prize-winning Canti del Sole for tenor and orchestra.The Canti recordings on #BMOPsound are available to stream and download from your preferred digital platform.

The #BMOPsound recording, Shuying Li: The Last Hive Mind, captures evocative moments of self-discovery. The composer writes, “Over the years, through trial and revelation, my work began to shift — from demonstration to expression, from restraint to resonance… These five orchestral works are not just compositions; they are glimpses into who I was becoming as a person.” / https://bmopsound.bandcamp.com/album/shuying-li-the-last-hive-mindSave 20% with code BMOP20WHM#WomensHistoryMonth
