Composed by Flutist Katherine Hoover

For more than 50 years, Ms. Hoover was a composer, educator, and freelance flutist in New York City. Born in West Virginia (December 2, 1937 – September 21, 2018), Katherine lived 80 years.

Since co-founding in 1988, Papagena's catalog has included 90 individual titles of Katherine's work. Many of these have one or more interesting rearrangements.

Carla Auld with the Beauty in America Orchestra

"A must listen, Carla's playing absolutely soars on these beautiful pieces composed by modern composers."

Valerie Coleman is an American composer and flutist as well as the creator of the wind quintet Imani Winds. Coleman is a distinguished artist of the century who was named Performance Today's 2020 Classical Woman of the year and was listed as “one of the Top 35 Women Composers” in the Washington Post. In 2019, Coleman's orchestral work, Umoja, Anthem for Unity, was commissioned and premiered by the Philadelphia Orchestra. Coleman's Umoja is the first classical work by a living African American woman the Philadelphia Orchestra has performed.

Cécile Louise Stéphanie Chaminade, (born Aug. 8, 1857, Paris, France—died April 18, 1944, Monte-Carlo), French composer and pianist known chiefly for her piano music, which she performed on numerous concert tours, particularly in England. The piece was commissioned by the Paris Conservatoire in 1902 to be an examination piece for flute students. The Concertino is dedicated to flautist and teacher, Paul Taffanel. Supposedly, Chaminade wrote this work to punish a flute-playing lover after he left her to marry somebody else.
