	Julia Wolfe
		On the surface, she seems the quintessential composer for the 90s -- New York-based, politically aware, and, don't forget, female -- and in fact her career has been appropriately meteoric.
		In the last few years she has sprung into the consciousness of the musical cognoscenti through a few startlingly individual and unforgettable works for orchestra, string quartet, large brass ensemble, six pianos, and chamber ensemble, and she is now rightly regarded as one of the key musical voices of her generation.
		Most recently, along with fellow Bang on a Can composers Michael Gordon and David Lang, she was commissioned by the Settembre Musica Festival in Turin, Italy to create a new comic-book opera, The Carbon Copy Building, in collaboration with comic-strip artist Ben Katchor.

	American Composers Orchestra - David Raksin Remembers His Colleagues
		The sequence in which the female monster is brought to life is wonderfully ghoulish, and the music composed by Franz Waxman propels this episode to its harrowing climax with the same deadpan seriousness as James Whale's visuals.
		Franz Waxman, the young man who composed this coroner's version of the "Liebestod" from Tristan and Isolde, was born in Königshütte, Germany (now Chorzow, Poland) in 1906.
		A measure of the success he eventually achieved in film music is evident from the list of his scores, which include in addition to THE BRIDE: FURY, DR. JEKYLL AND MR.

	American Composers Orchestra - rel20051111
		Conlon Nancarrow's Studies were composed for player piano with the idea that the physical movement required to create the sounds the composer desired could be achieved only by the mechanical player.
		The original instrumentation for the work is expanded for this premiere, transcribing the synthesizer part for flutes, bassoons and horns to create a richer and more complex sound.
		What happens when the notes begin to move around within this strict arrangement results in the composer's characteristic stamp of restless rhythmic energy and humor while creating a bit of a house of mirrors with the text, until it is all sorted out again.

		One of the younger of the Hochschule composers, Heinz Tiessen, was born in 1887 and lived until 1971.

		It could be argued that those composers and musicians who remained in Germany riding out the persecution of their colleagues while not subscribing wholeheartedly to National Socialist beliefs, were also as the victims of Nazi totalitarianism.
