NEW YORK CITY: in challenging times, what does one hold on to? The album 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 late 19th-century and early 20th-century. These poets find solace in nature and in the details of everyday life, transcending their difficulties through the beauty of the moment.
Hubbell’s soprano dazzles while it warms, a rare combination indeed. 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.
Let’s discover the art song from a woman’s point of view!
