“[If] a young woman is inspired to become a composer because I’m a composer, that’s great. And if a Black person is inspired, that’s great. From that point of view I like [being known as a Black woman composer], and I don’t mind the terms. But I don’t like them being used to set me apart from anybody, and say it makes my music better, or not better.” — Dorothy Rudd Moore

 

Time for another Patchwork Quilt episode.  No special theme, just great music composed or performed by talented women.
