Angels for String Quartet by Joan Tower was composed in 2008 and premiered on August 31 2008 in Angel Fire NM performed by the Miami String Quartet. Angels is my fourth quartet — a mediumI really love. In fact when Ida Kavafian asked me what I wanted to write for the Festival I immediately said string quartet. Having written three prior quartets and gotten to travel extensively around the world of quartets Ihave come to love the way string quartets are so deeply creative and passionate about the music they play. They are really like four 'composers' at work. Angels is about 18 minutes long in one movement and isdedicated to the people who helped my younger brother George survive a major stroke this year. They include my sister Ellen a former student of mine (Erin) a doctor (Dr. Stenehjem) a nurse (Courtney) and two real estate agents(Ann and Dale). These are caring people whose generosity of spirit and love of humanity make them very special 'angels.' I am thrilled that the Miami Quartet is giving the premiere of Angels. - Joan Tower

Joan Tower's White Water - String Quartet No. 5. Score and parts. White Water is the first of four commissions for Chamber Music Monterey Bay's 'Arc of Life' project. Theartist Bill Viola shared excerpts from his video installation 'Going Forth by Day' — a depiction of life in all its stages — with the four composers who then created compositions inspired by this. 'When I saw [Bill]Viola's work I was quite fascinated with how he used water as an encompassing image which influenced everything I saw about the 'person' inside the water. My piece is not directly associated by what he specifically did but itdoes have a strong connection to the image of water as a powerful basic idea and action. The many glissandos hopefully create a 'fluid' environment that connects the various ideas and registers together while 'white water'somehow implies more rapid 'cascading' types of action which occur throughout the piece' - Joan Tower

Version for solo Alto Saxophone. Wings for solo clarinet (1981) typifies those works of Tower's that bear evocative symbolic titles drawing on abstract action-filled imagery. One of her most frequently performed works Wingsuses fluid melodic contours and musical contrasts to evoke the soaring flight of falcons who can glide effortlessly on thermal currents or dive at breakneck speeds. The work was tailor-made for the smooth seamless playing ofclarinetist Laura Flax and demands great dynamic control over a wide registral range. Directly influenced by Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time Wings also examines the stretching of musical time. Tower arranged Wings forsolo alto saxophone in 1991.

The second String Quartet by Joan Tower is a short but complex work addressing thoughts of death and loss written in memory of an old friend. The piece was commissioned by and is dedicated to the Tokyo String Quartet who firstperformed the piece in February 2002 at the 92nd Street Y New York City.Further inspired by the events in New York on September 11th 2001 the writing contains high sustained celestial material which slowly descends. Thiswriting is paired with more forceful driving and repetitive musical ideas that attempt to express the anger and pain that results from the loss of people in one's life.

Score and Parts-Joan Tower is one of this generation's most dynamic and colourful composers. Her bold and energetic music with its striking imagery and novel structural forms has won large enthusiastic audiences. Growing up in South America she absorbed the wealth of native cultures and discovered a love of performing and composing. This 'Island Prelude' is one of the rare wind quintets where one instrument us a soloist throughout supported by the rest ofthe ensemble - in this case the oboe. The complicated rhythmic nuances give the pieces the improvisatory feeling of a prelude. The varied colours of the instruments join and separate from the oboe throughout the work providingan ever-changing background for its arabesques. The duration is approximately 10 minutes.
