Karen Amrhein

Composer has written for orchestra, chamber ensemble, wind ensemble, and voice.

R E

“Amrhein is tonally oriented, lyrical, and composes with an insightful sense of instrumental possibility. She is also a fine contrapuntalist who is equally adept at thinking both vertically and horizontally. Her lines are enlivened by quirky rhythms, and the harmonies that their convergences generate at key points are never less than pleasingly surprising.”

- William Zagorski, Fanfare Magazine

SC O

“Karen is very sensitive to melody, and quite insightful as to the harmonic structure that will best support it. What results is both engaging and intriguing, as well as emotionally satisfying, not infrequently witty, and quite often uplifting - all characteristics and affects that seem regrettably rare in the work of more recent times.”

- Composer Robert Sirota, former President of the Manhattan School of Music, and former Director of the Peabody Institiute

U SA L

Among Karen's works are her oratorio The Book of Jonah for soloists, choir, and chamber orchestra; three suites for orchestra: The Eye of Phoebus, Bestiary, and An Avandalian Suite (inspired by The Silmarillion of J.R.R. Tolkien); the ballet Little Nemo in Slumberland for orchestra / wind ensemble (based on the influential early 20th-C. comic strip by Winsor McCay); Symphony of Seasons for wind ensemble / orchestra written for and premiered by Harlan Parker and the Peabody Wind Ensemble; five chamber orchestra concertos, including the clarinet concerto Event Horizon, written for and recorded by Richard Stoltzman; seven sonatas for soloist and piano; two string quartets and a string trio; a collection of dances for piano entitled Dance Card; a series of "story scores" for her novels including The Tower of Kirklees and A Season in Prickleblossom Wood; and works for narrator(s) and musical ensemble including Princess Paliné, The Gift of the Magi, and The Christmas Mirror.

A Cra� A Quill

Cra� A ();till (2021) sonically explores the painting The Naturalist by Victor Grasso (bit.ly/NaturalistVG) wherein an octopus, perched patiently upon a tree trunk, holds many mysterious objects in its tentacles. l viewed this painting in-person for the first time several years ago, and it has been a sticky memory for me ever since: Why is this octopus here? What is it thinking? Why has it come to shore clutching a crab, a quill, a kettle, a teacup, and an axe? A Crab, A Quill examines each of the octopus' objects and attempts to answer these questions in music. Thank you to Diversify the Stand for commissioning this work and for amplifying underrepresented voices in order to build a more inclusive educational repertoire.

Rylee Short is a composer and horn player from Louisville, Kentucky who is now based in Chicago, IL.

SC O

R E

They enjoy performing with a myriad of music styles from free noise improv to trash prog to orchestral and chamber settings. They lost a lot of their early media promotion with their name change and transition but have been producing either scores or recorded productions since 2008. A lot of their work explores the collaboration between disciplines while either combining spoken word, written poetry, dance, fluxus, video media, or even a combination of all. Rylee is fascinated in how each individual expression changes under live collaboration. For many years, they produced and hosted events that combined artists to collaborate together for a live audience without rehearsal, Subterranean Phrases. They also served on the Board for Dreamland Louisville, an experimental music venue run by drummer and composer, Tim Barnes, and they served as the Arts and Repertoire chair for Orchestra Enigmatic.

PE R

U SA L

Rylee’s compositions undergo motivic exploration and are generally programmatic in nature, while often the programmatic elements are not obvious by listening alone.

Their two most important pieces to date are collaborations with spoken word artist and writer, Hannah Drake, (“Holding Space” orchestrated for her poem “Spaces”) that highlights marginalized representation in predominately white male spaces & their collaboration with author, Jacinda Townsend (“946” orchestrated for an excerpt from her novel John Loves Ruth) that explores police brutality and its disproportionate impact on the Black community. Rylee was thrilled to work on this project by Diversify the Stand and hopes that future endeavors will strive to celebrate the myriad of composers that can serve the community with their artistic expressions through notation.
