Her compositions are featured on numerous recordings. With major contributions to the repertoires of symphony orchestras, concert choirs, wind ensembles, chamber ensembles, and soloists, Galbraith continues to play a leading role in defining "the sound of classical music" in today?s concert halls.

Galbraith?s work possesses genuine melody, with a sweeping American character ? at time, almost cinematic in their arc; her harmonies are transparent and attractive; and her propulsive rhythms are reminiscent of the music of John Adams (El Niño, The Chairman Dances, etc.) and Michael Nyman (The Piano).
