...
repertoire, voice teachers searching for fresh contemporary songs for their studios, or student vocalists seeking out unique and culturally-relevant new works to fulfill 21st century repertoire requirements. These songs, composed exclusively in the 21st century, represent a broad range of compositional styles from composers living and writing today, and emcompass varying difficulties. Many of the songs in this volume are excerpted from larger cycles of songs, available directly from the composers. Every song in this collection meets at least one of three criteria: 1) the composer is trans or nonbinary, 2) the librettist/lyricist is trans or nonbinary, 3) the work was composed specifically for or was premiered by a trans or nonbinary singer.Including works by: Keith Allegretti, Penrose Allphin, Adam Burnette, Griffin Candey, Ros?a Crean, Rylan Gleave, Grey Grant, Leo Hurley, Dana Kaufman, Melissa Li, Tony Manfredonia, Pax Ressler, Hope Salmonson, Isaac Schankler, Ashley Seward, Nell Shaw Cohen, brin solomon, Mickie Wadsworth, Yoshi Weinberg, LJ White, Thomas Yee.The NewMusicShelf Anthologies of New Music are a bold, new publishing initiative aimed at bringing new and unknown composers and repertoire to student and professional performers alike. With an emphasis on works not found in the traditional publishing ecosystem, each volume is curated by performers who have a reputation for championing new music, with an eye toward selecting works with a range of styles and difficulties that are suitable for concert and recital performance. With this innovative mode of publishing, NewMusicShelf advocates for self-published composers in a way previously unheard of in the realm of classical music: all self-published composers retain full ownership of their work while earning a generous royalty on every sale. Your support of this project directly benefits these composers, and also helps NewMusicShelf to continue to promote the works of the many excellent composers writing today. We encourage you to explore these composers' catalogs in greater depth, and hope that these songs inspire many fruitful and rewarding collaborations!
