Liner Notes
Cat. No. NWCR854
Release Date: 2007-01-01
Carolyn Heafner, soprano; Jay Poûhe, piano; Dixie Ross Neill, piano; Lee Hoiby, piano
It’s a pleasure to introduce the songs of Jay Pouhe as well as to look back on working with the other talented composers represented on this recording. With the exception of Amy Beach, when the original works were recorded all of the composers were living. And, interestingly, every composer represented is or was a pianist. From this came my desire to have each song accompanied by the composer if at all possible. And from there came the experience of working with the composers. I have always tried to consult the source, and in most cases it was as simple as picking up the telephone and dialing! I have also always found composers to be accessible and delighted to know of my interest in their music and their personal input...
The experiences of making this recording were not only hard work and a lot of fun, but also a time of incredible learning and growth thanks to being able to listen to these extraordinary people. I learned to hear with my mind and with my heart, all while making music with friends. —C.H.
