"Voices of Dissent," a CD of classical saxophone music, was released in December 2011 by MSR Classics. Dr. Joren Cain is joined by Maila Gutierrez Springfield on piano (both on faculty at Valdosta State University) and clarinetist Sarah Cain. The ten works represent a diverse range of genres and composers, including pieces by Jean-Louis Petit and David M. Gordon written specifically for Cain. The CD includes several premiere recordings, such as "Voices of Dissent": four politically-motivated works by Marilyn Shrude, Burton Beerman, Elainie Lillios, and Mikel Kuehn. Music by Piet Swerts, Astor Piazzolla, and Fernande Decruck is also included. The recording was made possible by a grant from VSUs Office of Sponsored Programs and Research Administration.
