ASH features a six-movement suite of cello works written expressly for Ashley Bathgate by the American composer collective Sleeping Giant, which includes Timo Andres, Christopher Cerrone, Jacob Cooper, Ted Hearne, Robert Honstein, and Andrew Norman.
The ASH suite was completed in 2016 and then honed during tours throughout the US and abroad. The final album version is a dynamic collection of pieces driven by Bathgate's hope that they may bring joy and insight to other listeners and players out there; perhaps even inspiring them to create new works the way the Bach suites inspired her.
