This a cappella four verse setting of the hymn tune BANGOR increases in complexity on each verse, beginning with a solo voice and ending in SSAATTBB harmony. The tune, by English hymn writer William Tans'ur, is a precursor to the sturdy, stark early American tunes which followed it. The text contrasts our current state with the hope of God's comfort and care.

Capture the fierceness and raw savagery of the battle that would change naval warfare forever! Ironclads is a work of epic proportions that chronicles the massive battle between the USS Merrimack and the USS Monitor during the American Civil War. A foreboding introduction with brass and percussion signifies the meeting of the two titans before the music suddenly takes off to portray the ferocity of the vessels in combat. Dissonance and colorful percussion writing ensue before a heroic ending caps this intense programmatic work!

Terri Lyne Carrington, Founder and Artistic Director of the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice, has curated a wide range of jazz compositions written by women composers, from obscure to popular, historic to current, blues to bebop, and beyond in this important collection. These compositions are supplementary and alternatives to the “jazz standard†canon that has served students, teachers and professionals throughout the development of jazz music. The compositions span nearly a century, including Lil Hardin Armstrong's work from 1922 to songs written in 2021 by recent Institute graduates. It features 101 compositions from a remarkable range of acknowledged titans, young visionaries and unsung heroes in jazz: Mary Lou Williams, Alice Coltrane, esperanza spalding, Geri Allen, Maria Schneider, Cecile McLorin Salvant, Cassandra Wilson, Dianne Reeves, Dorothy Ashby, Nubya Garcia, Nicole Mitchell and many others. The book includes a 1922 piece by the influential Lil Hardin Armstrong and songs written in 2021 by emerging artists from Carrington's Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice. New Standards also celebrates the global world of jazz, from Chilean tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana to Japanese American pianist Toshiko Akiyoshi and other international composers.
