Check out this beautiful preview video for my new album – to be released August 12 – “Soul of the Machine,” shared by Parma Recordings! Featuring clips from Courage Triptych’s Image 1: A Garden Prayer, Anima Mechanicae: Soul of the Machine, and Adoré.
I have a couple of exciting things on the horizon….
MA, my two chamber works, Counterpoint Invariable for violin trio and Gypsy Wanderer for violin and piano, will be recorded by these marvelously talented ladies:
Greetings! I thought everyone might be interested in a single post where demos of the five compositions that will be included on my upcoming PARMA album could be found… so that you can take a listen to just a small sample of the awesome-ness that we are producing and that YOU are a vital part of! 
In no particular order, the new works to fill this exciting album are:
Spread the word! Let’s get this project funded!
As a professional composer, there is nothing like having the opportunity to hear your work performed by top musicians from around the world. To have that performance then recorded by the finest engineers on the finest equipment, and then edited to perfection and presented on a beautiful recording with full artwork, backed by active promotion in-stores, online, and on radio, with all licensing/publishing, with reviews and full exposure to the Classical community… That is a dream-come-true for any composer. This is exactly what PARMA Recordings in New Hampshire offers to composers they have chosen to work with. I have been deeply honored to have them choose my string quartet “Anima Mechanicae: Soul of the Machine” to be placed on their compilation album “ALLUSIONS,” which was recently released September 2013. Now we are in the process of creating an entire hour-long album of my works exclusively! This collaboration I am cultivating with PARMA is a major driving force in my creative life — it gives me a reason to continue writing and honing my craft, because I know there is an audience waiting to hear my work as it was meant to be heard.
This Selected Works of Sarah Wallin Huff album (official title TBD) will include the following original works of my repertoire: “Anima Mechanicae: Soul of the Machine” for string quartet (performed by the New England String Quartet); “Adoré” for string orchestra (performed by the Moravian Philharmonic); “Counterpoint Invariable” for violin trio (to be recorded this December/January in Boston); “Gypsy Wanderer” for violin and piano (to be recorded this December/January in Boston); and “Courage Triptych” for violin duo, piano, soprano saxophone, and string orchestra (to be recorded this November in the Czech Republic by the Moravian Philharmonic).
….
PARMA will take care good care of my works and present them in the best light possible for $28,000. This minimum amount is the amount they’ve asked from me, to secure 11 hours of recording time with these top musicians and all of the process of development and release for the album. If we overfund this project, I will be able to fly myself (and possibly my husband) out to Boston for the December/January sessions of “Gypsy Wanderer” and “Counterpoint Invariable.”
I come to you all now, in the hope that you would see the value of this opportunity, not only for me but for Modern Classical Music as a whole, and join with me to support PARMA in making this opportunity a reality.
This final campaign is my appeal to those of you who are fans of my work and would support me in this endeavor to release these five works with PARMA. We’ve received close to $700 already, which has gone directly toward funding the most recent recording of “Adoré.”
Now, with the three largest and most complex of my works to be recorded over these next four months or so, I humbly ask you to visit my USA Projects page to consider making a donation toward this cause. It was an honor for me to be chosen as an approved artist on USA Projects!
Your contribution is Tax Deductible through USA Projects, and you can choose from a refined list of exclusive perks. There is a deadline — If we do not reach the minimum $28,000 goal by Sat. November 23, funding will be revoked and you will not be charged. And I’ll be in the hole for that money.
The same landmark study that brought the financial plight of America’s artists to light also confirmed this shocking statistic: Although 96% of Americans value ART in their communities and lives, only 27% value ARTISTS. So the need is clear — in order to close the gap between the love of art and the ambivalence toward those who create it, artists need champions. Artists need advocates. Artists need you. Artists need USA. —United States Artists
