New Amsterdam and Nonesuch Records release <i>The Blue Hour</i>, a song cycle written collaboratively by the female composers Rachel Grimes, Angélica Negrón, Shara Nova, Caroline Shaw, and Sarah Kirkland Snider; a unique joint vision among a female collective. The cycle was commissioned by, and is performed with, the Boston–based chamber orchestra A Far Cry. [Nova also is featured as vocal soloist.] Set to excerpts from Carolyn Forché’s epic poem On Earth, the music follows one woman’s journey through the space between life and death via thousands of hallucinatory and non-linear images. Exploring memories of childhood, of war, of love, and of loss, <i>The Blue Hour</i> amplifies the beauty, pain, and fragility of human life from a collective female perspective.
