Beth Anderson has written the following about her use of the title Swale
in so many of her works: "A swale is a meadow or a marsh where there is
nourishment and moisture and therefore, a rich diversity of plant life.
My work, since 1984, has been made from swatches (of newly composed
music, rather than found music) which are reminiscent of this diversity.
When a horse named Swale won the Kentucky Derby several years ago, I
discovered the word and have used it extensively: Pennyroyal Swale and
Rosemary Swale for string quartet, Brass Swale and Saturday/Sunday Swale
for brass quintet, Guitar Swale for guitar duet, May Swale for viola
solo, Minnesota Swale for orchestra, New Mexico Swale and August Swale
for chamber ensemble, Flute Swale for solo flute, Rhode Island Swale for
harpsichord, and Three Swales for string orchestra, the most recent."

She was the subject of Kyle Gann's American Composer feature in 2001 in
Chamber Music Magazine.  You can read the article online at
