Add to cartWork Overview
An art song for soprano, cello, and piano that reimagines the origin myth for the Greek goddess, Athena. The poem by Emily Kendal Frey describes Athena's unconventional birth - emerging fully armed from her mother's head. The setting is both darkly mysterious and intensely lyrical.
