Programme Note

Holding a Daisy (1996) was commissioned by the pianist Sarah Rothenberg for a recital she was giving in New York City. The image is of a Georgia O'Keefe flower painting, not as innocent as it appears.

--Joan Tower

Reviews


  • Joan Tower, composer in residence at Bard and arguably, the foremost female composer of symphonic repertoire in American music… played two of her own piano works—”Holding a Daisy” and “or Like A… An Engine,” revealing the wizardry she brought to the award-winning Da Capo Chamber Players…. Tower proceeded to mesmerize the house with an intangible resonance coming from way beyond the keyboard.

    Kitty Montgomery, Daily Freeman, 21/03/1995
