Music, She Wrote: Moirai Ensemble
Meg Cohen, violin
Alex Meagher, percussion
David Moran, cello
Women are the origin of song. A mother’s communication with her baby is musical, it is instinct, it is in our DNA. Our song is soothing, healing, a voice before language, an intimate lullaby. We hold these songs in us, vibrations of our ancestral mothers echoing through generations since the beginning of humankind. They are documented in our systems, not in our textbooks. We are the archive, the melodies our inheritance.
Moirai presents a journey through mother lines, starting in the present day exploring cultural perceptions of the self and the daughter. From here, we step deeper back through time, traversing folk music from the British Isles and ancient western art forms, from the 17th through to the 9th century, until we arrive in the powerful simplicity of the lullaby.
Works by Leilehua Lanzilotti, Alice Chance, Mary Dering, Vittoria Alleotti, Madalena Casulana, Beatriz de Dia, Kassia, and traditional women's songs.
