About
Kassia (born c. 805) is often called 'the first female composer of the western world.' (She is also known for wisely turning down an Emperor's proposal after he used the Biblical story of Eve to suggest women were responsible for worldly evil. He married another. She became a prolific composer--and a monastic.) In every generation, women have raised their voices in song to express their innermost joy and sadness, despair and redemption, oppression and freedom.The year 2020 is the 100th anniversary of the women's vote. In celebration, innovative singer songwriter Jeanne Gies pays homage to a diverse spectrum of female composers who have left their mark on the global psyche. These powerful creative women intertwine melody and words to communicate truths that resonate with the human spirit.Photo credit: Joseph Boggess...
