Two compositions by Hilary
Tann,
professor of music, have recently been released on CD. Her song for voice and
melody instrument is recorded on “A Garland for Presteigne
(Twelve New Songs Celebrating the Welsh Borders)” (www.metronome.co.uk). Earlier this summer, her
string orchestra composition, “Water's Edge”, was released on
“American Tapestry (Chamber Orchestra Music by US Composers)” (www.northsouthmusic.org).  “Water's Edge” was premiered at the
Presteigne Festival in Wales in 1994. It received its first U.S. performance by the St. Cecelia Orchestra at Memorial Chapel
during Union's Bicentennial celebration in 1995. Following performances
in New
York in
2002 and 2003, it was selected for this recording by the North/South Chamber
Orchestra, conducted by Max Lifchitz.
