National Trust for Scotland, Made in Scotland Onward Touring Fund and the Delaware Division for the Arts, USA. The work was premiered at The Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Ayrshire, Scotland in May 2015. The review of the 2016 Victoria International Arts Festival performance in Malta describes the cycle as “a very beautiful song cycle, alternating from the light-hearted and flirtatious nature of a young girl to the more introspective and mature musings of an older woman”. Also of note in Barker’s portfolio of compositions is her composition for flute and piano titled Na Trì Peathraichean (The Three Sisters…of Glencoe) which “impressionistically evoke(s) the landscape and atmosphere of three neighbouring mountain ridges in the Scottish Highlands”. Originally commissioned and recorded by Virginia Symphony flautist, Laurie Baefsky, for the inaugural CD release of the Meyer Media label (2000), this work has recently been recorded by award-winning international Powell Flutes artist, Alice K. Dade, for Naxos Records (2018). With a YouTube video of the first movement of the work, Gearr Aonach, reaching almost half a million views, this composition has been reviewed as “evocative and virtuosic at the same time”; “impressive…a vivid landscape of colors and textures…majestic…richly evocative”; “very attractive”; “a wonderfully atmospheric piece, denoting the gentle wind (that) rustles through the crevices and the ferns, truly evocative and haunting.” With undergraduate and graduate degrees in piano performance, Barker's continued work as a collaborative pianist is highly evident in her writing for piano. Martin Jones (pianist) has recorded two of her three compositions for solo piano, Moana and BuMian, on the PnOVA: American Piano Music Series. American pianist Kevin Robert Orr has recorded her solo piano work, Geenyoch Ballant, and also performed it to critical review in America, Europe and Asia: “Orr then went on to play a much more modern work by Jennifer Margaret Barker. It…took full advantage of the basically percussive nature of the modern piano. There were echoes of Carl Orff, Shostakovich, Copland, and even Mahler, to be heard throughout the piece. But in the end, it was clearly Barker’s own.” Geenyoch Ballant was written for the 2003 American Liszt Society National Conference. In addition, American composer, Melinda Wagner, engaged Barker to create the piano reduction of her 1999 Pulitzer Prize-winning work, Concerto for Flute, Strings, and Percussion, for publication by the Theodore Presser Company. Among Barker’s more Celtic-flavoured compositions are two works setting the poetry of Scottish poet
