It's hard to summarize a piece that you understand and experience so viscerally. In exploring mortality, loss and life after loss, the women you hear from in this piece bypass philosophy by speaking about death with beautiful simplicity, clarity and honesty. Although this piece revolves around women who have lost both parents at a relatively early age, anyone who hears this will hugely benefit from it and relate to it. The music in this piece is used so literally but to great effect, you realize that the fear of death and loss is everywhere--right on the surface. As most of the women in this piece lost their parents around the holidays this would be a perfect piece to play around Thanksgiving -- it leaves you so grateful for what you still have.
