Giantess marks the second solo album of flutist Jennie Oh Brown. A deeply personal project, this album is dedicated to her late grandmothers. Both grew up, raised families, and survived during a time when Korea was ravaged by war, oppression, and poverty. This collection of works captures their spirits through stories of courage, wonder, faith, struggle, and loss. 2016 Pulitzer Prize Finalist Carter Pann joins Brown as collaborative pianist on his own works, as well as Shulamit Ran’s Birds of Paradise. A vibrant and colorful work, the brilliance of Bird’s outer movements beautifully frame the soulful second. Pann’s Giantess embodies its title in this heroic work for flute and piano.
