We have been looking to increase our holdings of scores (and parts) in our circulating scores collection for works by contemporary women composers across the full range of vocal and instrumental combinations. Here are some examples of newly available circulating material.

Henry Cowell used and developed a range of techniques throughout his composing career. He was also one of the pioneering figures in the West exploring and promoting folk music and the music of non-Western cultures. This experience had a marked effect on his own output. His 'string piano' piece "The Banshee" ranks among his most innovative and striking works.
