Music by Lili Boulanger, Wallen, Tailleferre, Gloria Coates, Brusa and Beamish ends this week's celebration of women composers in recent recordings by the 大象传媒 orchestras.

This week of music by women draws to a close with large-scale works by Germaine Tailleferre and Gloria Coates plus Lili Boulanger, Errolyn Wallen, Elisabetta Brusa and Sally Beamish, in recent recordings by the 大象传媒 orchestras. Wallen wrote PACE as a choral work, explaining that it is 'best understood as a single human breath; as a single line; as a world鈥檚 long, long journey to light'. This recording by members of the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra is the first performance of the composer's arrangement for brass ensemble. In 1923 Tailleferre, the only female member of the group of French composers known as Les Six, completed Le Marchand d'oiseaux for the Ballet Su茅dois, with a scenario, costumes and set designs by the woman artist and poetess H茅l猫ne Perdriat. Born in Wisconsin, Gloria Coates has been described as a having a personal sound world unlike any other in contemporary music. Her work includes 16 symphonies, varied chamber music, and solo, vocal and electronic compositions.
Presented by Hannah French.
