As an album that brings more women composers of African<br \/>\ndescent to light and contextualises them in the historical era of the<br \/>\nBlack Chicago Renaissance, this project has been recognised as a<br \/>\nsignificant contribution to scholarship and performance. It received the<br \/>\n prestigious 2021 Noah Greenberg Award of the American Musicological<br \/>\nSociety in recognition of its outstanding contribution to historical<br \/>\nperforming practices. The sleeve notes additionally feature the<br \/>\nscholarly and creative insights of Dr Artina McCain (University of<br \/>\nMemphis), Dr Lucy Caplan (Harvard University), and A.
