"As someone who has studied linguistics, I am intrigued by the idea of singing in Esperanto for the first time—especially when the composer’s setting has such a global flair to it. The open intervals and varying rhythmic groupings in the piano part add a lot of fascination alongside the folk-like vocal line. It is a rare treat to be offered such a singable piece." -- Bree Nichols, soprano
