“All my life, I have been inspired and surrounded by powerful women, whether they were singers, teachers, pianists, composers or writers. They are the people who have most changed and touched my life, and I feel a responsibility to give voice to them from many different perspectives” [Jake Heggie, November 2021]
American composer Jake Heggie has made a significant contribution to the classical vocal genre; his works are multifaceted, fresh and bold, and have been met with widespread critical acclaim. His operatic and song works are often focused on issues concerning human rights, particularly those that bring awareness to underrepresented sectors of the population. Within his oeuvre, themes of women's suffrage, women's rights and the empowerment of women have remained prominent. This album contains three of Heggie's song cycles, all of which present feminist perspectives.
