The purpose of this project is to bring attention to various social issues within the LGBTQIA+ community through commissioned works for clarinet. This project includes recordings, composer biographies, composer interviews, performance notes, and noted relevance of the social issues within the LGBTQIA+ community. The four commissioned works include Mass for B-flat Clarinet and Organ by Francisco Javier de Alba, Scrap-drift by Amelia Brey, Queer Language by Sarah Lucas-Page, and Memoriam by Taylor Hughes. Each composer uses their piece to address the pressures on an individual that can negatively impact gender identity, sexuality, mental health, or body image. For each work, I discuss the purpose of the piece, how this topic is communicated, how I approached the music, and how the piece benefits both the clarinet and LGBTQIA+ communities. Each piece has been recorded by Clarke Rigsby at Tempest Recording in Tempe, Arizona.
