"To Quince, Motherland means our natal home, worthy of love, critique, and support. It represents the terrain of those who identify as women, as mothers of varying types- creators and producers and live-givers and life-sacrificers. Mother-land is both embodiment and inversion of Emily Dickinson's 'Nature, the gentlest mother'- capable of supporting all life, and of obliterating it with forces as simple as a breath of air. This album features never-before-heard recordings of pieces by Laura Steenberge, Gilda Lyons, Cara Haxo, and Jennifer Jolley. As long as we have breath left in us, we will sing our gratitude, our love, our frustration, and our hopes. There is no greater privilege." With this bold statement, Quince Ensemble presents it's ambitious, socially engaged second album with New Focus, Motherland. Featuring premiere recordings of works by Gilda Lyons, Laura Steenberge, Cara Haxo, and Jennifer Jolley, Motherland's range is as wide in terms of subject matter as it is in terms of sonic palette.
