All these little things: Settings of American Women Poets

Mary Hubbell, soprano | Jingjing Wan, piano | Alice Jones, flute

Compositions by: Ronald Perera, Alice Jones, Gregory W. Brown, and Sarah Rimkus

In challenging times, what does one hold on to? All These Little Things explores this existential question from a woman’s point of view, presenting art song on the poetry of women from the turn of the 20th century. These poets find solace in nature and in the details of everyday life, transcending their difficulties through the beauty of the moment.

The compositions are innovative though largely adhere to a lyrical tonality, supporting and underpinning the language of the poets. These wistful poems, often lamenting loss, are buoyed and transformed by hopeful and uplifting music. All These Little Things is a candid and consoling look at the human condition.
