I Resound Press archive is complete

I Resound Press is completing its archive in 2025, after spending the past 15 years collecting over 300 scores representing many works by women composers unavailable anywhere else. We are particularly proud of our work collecting the scores of Rahilia Hasanova prior to her passing in 2024. I am so grateful for work of the many interns listed on our site, without whom this collection would never have been possible, but particular thanks goes to Jennifer Roberts, who worked diligently on all the details of beginning the project, and Pam Voulalas, who tirelessly completed the accession of the Hasanova collection and did final proofreading of the entire site. Karena Ingram, Eliza Triolo, Jordan Hartmann, Sydney Wagner, and Kathryn Blake also completed major accessions and important technical documentation. Chris Parent designed and built the website. I am eternally grateful to Alan Wonneberger, Director of Music technology at UMBC, who embraced the project from its beginning and has blessed it with his technical expertise throughout its life, to Sarah Baugher for her ready technical expertise, and to Jack Seuss, Vice President for Information Technology at UMBC, who has assured the preservation of the website. The UMBC Department of Music, chaired by E. Michael Richards and subsequently by Lisa Cella, supported the project in many ways, and celebrated its success at the Livewire Festival in 2024.
 
All works will now also be available through the e-collections at the Albin O. Kuhn library at UMBC. At the foundation of this project lies a deep gratitude to the composers involved, and to composers in general, all of whom gift the world with both their creativity and their dedication to the art of music, leaving a resounding legacy of their times. --Linda Dusman, editor
