Discography

Contemporary composer Nancy Bachmann’s exquisite music entices listeners with an artist’s pallet of expressive and progressive sounds. WILD SWANS takes flight through compositions for voice, woodwind quintet, trios, duos, and unaccompanied clarinet, transporting the listener to beautiful and exotic destinations.
The Distance (Single, Angels Share Records, 2023)
Released on April 15, 2023 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing, THE DISTANCE celebrates long-distance runners and the inspiration we all gain from witnessing their trials and triumphs.
Lifeline (Angels Share Records, 2022)
A modern-day interpretation of the music of Hildegard von Bingen distilled through the lens of the artists’ experiences in quarantine. Recorded remotely in collaboration with instrumentalists located around the United States.
“Lifeline is a beautiful window into two similar women, both bound by circumstance to their anchoritic cells, and both producing otherworldly visions. It is also an admirable social statement about isolation and togetherness that should resonate with all listeners with an open mind. I found it cathartic, challenging, and delightful.”
Some Women’s Voices (Albany, 2022)
Song cycles by composer Don Walker (b. 1941) with poetry by Anne Bradstreet, Phyllis Wheatley, Helen Hunt Jackson, Emily Dickinson, Gertrude Stein, Harrie Alley, and Edna St. Vincent Millay. Featuring soprano Ann Moss and pianist Karen Rosenak.

“Ann Moss’s long, fluid lines are exquisite in ‘Exaudi.’ She easily negotiates the musical leaps and mood changes in ‘Dies Irae,’ and gives a sense of hope to ‘In Paradisum.’”

“Ann has this magic quality that somehow makes composers want to write for her, because not only does she perform their songs, she invests in them, physically, emotionally, personally. I think she’s a transformative artist, because she can cross genres so easily. She’s not only comfortable in classics and Baroque music, but she also is expert at new music. Nothing scares her.”

Song cycles by composer Don Walker (b. 1941) with poetry by Emily Dickinson focused on nature, love, religion, and death. Featuring soprano Ann Moss and pianist Karen Rosenak.

“Appropriately, the nerd song ‘Hello World’ was a 12-tone reading of a Basic computer program, complete with line numbers, until ‘Run’ was reached, at which time the program burst into tonality with the titular message.”
Percipience (Navona, 2015)
Vocal chamber music by composer Michael Murray on texts by John Donne and William Blake. Featuring soprano Ann Moss, violinists Amy Ripka and Zoia Bologovsky, violist Justin Ouellet, cellist Dorothy Braker, and clarinetist John Ferraro.
“Murray gives us songs that stand out. They are masterful examples of the form in our contemporary world. Anyone who gravitates towards such things will no doubt appreciate this album. Bravo!”

“I’m drawn to saying ‘yes’ to things that will challenge me in different ways, but I’ve never worked on a record with this kind of diverse material.”
“I’ve been listening to Currents for about three weeks now on a pretty regular rotation, and with each listening it reveals more of itself. Like Esperanza Spaulding’s Chamber Music Society, it covers a lot of ground, and the album’s cohesion reveals itself through repeated listening.”

Sebastián Durón's Salir el amor del mundo (Love Leaves the World) is an early Zarzuela dating from 1696. Featuring El Mundo Ensemble, guitarist and director Richard Savino. Recorded at Skywalker Sound.
