Commissioned by the Seattle Art Song Society for its "women's concert" in the 2018-2019 concert season, which is devoted to concerts of songs on themes of various types of social justice.
Poems by American poet Margaret Widdemer (who shared one of the earliest Pulitzer Prizes with Carl Sandburg) discuss women's rights as well as the treatment of children in America under male political leadership, and form the basis of Juliana Hall's first work on the themes of social justice and women's rights. The world premiere will be presented in Seattle, WA on March 8, 2019, by acclaimed mezzo-soprano Clara Osowski, with the composer at the piano. Duration: 20:00
