Those who follow American contemporary music even casually may have noticed that composer Jennifer Higdon has been one of very few to thread the needle, appealing equally to audiences and the professional peers who control fellowship purse strings and decide on awards like the Pulitzer Prize, which Higdon won in 2010. Part of Higdon's appeal is her colorful orchestration, but this collection of chamber works, recorded during Higdon's residence at the University of Wyoming in 2010 and 2011, does not fail to demonstrate her talents.

Like Paul Hindemith, Higdon works in and respects traditional forms, yet makes something new of them. Her treatment of melody is at once rigorous and pleasantly appealing, and in fact predominantly short pieces like the ones heard here offer a good way to get a grip on her music. --James Manheim, AllMusic
