From the Diary of Sally Hemings, a song cycle for voice and piano with libretto by Sandra Seaton and music by William Bolcom.The 18 songs in this imaginary journal provide a surprising interpretation of the relationship between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings, a slave. The songs trace the life of Sally Hemings from her earliest memory to her sojourn in Paris with Jefferson, and finally her life with Jefferson at Monticello until his death. Sung by mezzo soprano Givonna Joseph, accompanied by pianist Dr. Wilfred Delphin. By donation.
