Chicago Composers Playlist
In honor of our November release featuring music by Chicago composer Mischa Zupko, we present a playlist of 20 different Chicago composers, to which we’ll add the title track from Mischa Zupko’s album Eclipse when it’s released on November 11. Sharing high-quality recordings of the work of our city’s many talented composers is a core aspect of Cedille’s mission, and we’ve been thrilled to present world-premiere recordings written and performed by local artists to national and global audiences. Enjoy our playlist, and check back in later this month to hear new music by Mischa Zupko!

For her 24th recording for Cedille Records, violinist Rachel Barton Pine joins forces with period instrument specialists David Schrader, John Mark Rozendaal, and Brandon Acker to record Arcangelo Corelli’s seminal set of 12 Violin Sonatas, Op. 5.
Created for the month of Halloween, a playlist of over 50 tracks from the Cedille catalog that are spooky, scary, eerie, demonic, sardonic, grotesque, and/or just plain weird — plus one piece that actually is Halloween-themed: Chicago composer Leo Sowerby‘s “Theme in Yellow” (yellow = pumpkins).

Children’s Stories features world premieres of works based on beloved children’s literature by superstar classical composers Michael Abels (Frederick’s Fables for narrator and orchestra) and Augusta Read Thomas (Gwendolyn Brooks Settings for children’s choir and orchestra). Both pieces bring children’s literary narratives stunningly to life through music.
