From the composer:
"This work celebrates a group of remarkable women who profoundly influenced our world. From the depths of the sea to the expansive skies and beyond, it chronicles the extraordinary contributions of women in science, the arts, and exploration.A diverse group of women were chosen to be represented in collaboration with Sonora Winds, the commissioners of this work. Our aim was to showcase the courage, curiosity, and inspiring stories of these women, representing a wide range of roles and achievements. Each segment dedicated to these women is preceded by an interlude featuring a brief narration of their accomplishments and stories of strength and resilience.
This work explores the following women:
1. Jeanne Villepreux-Power (1794-1871), the inventor of the Aquarium and a leading researcher in cephalopods.
2. Anna May Wong (1905-1961) – the first Chinese American film star in Hollywood who was a champion for Asian Americans in film and television.
3. The mother-daughter duo of Marie (1867-1934) and Irène Curie (1897-1956) who both won Nobel Prizes for their work in radioactivity.
4. Bessie Coleman (1892-1926) – the first African American woman and Native American Woman to hold a pilot’s license.
5. Sally Ride (1951-2012) – First American woman to fly in space.
6. Nicole Aunapu Mann (1977- ) – first Native American woman in space.It is an honor to tell the stories of these amazing women, and I am grateful to Sonora Winds for their vision and dedication to educating their audiences about these women through music.
