Voice of Hope, soprano and piano-Larysa Kuzmenko
More infoVoice of Hope was originally for soprano and string orchestra, and this is now available with piano accompaniment.
The text of this piece was taken from the writings of a young girl who survived the Ukrainian Holodomor, the starvation/genocide of the Ukrainian people by the Stalin regime in 1932. The setting of this text by composer Larysa Kuzmenko, who had a number of family members die in that genocide, is very powerful, moving and gripping.
The Rings-flute and harp-Eric Robertson
More infoThe Rings for flute and harp was commissioned by harpist Erica Goodman and flutist Suzanne Shulman to celebrate two 50th anniversaries, one for the two of them, as they have played together as a duo for 50 years. The other is to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of Suzanne Shulman to her husband, Peter Rosenbaum. They asked their good friend and composer Eric Robertson to create a work for these occasions. Eric asked another good friend and long-time collaborator, poet Gary Michael Dault, to create 8 poems on the subject of marriage, to serve as inspiration for each movement. The end results has been recorded by the duo on their album Being Golden.
