Songs of Consonants is a cycle of four songs for soprano voice and piano based on texts by the composer available under Songs of Consonants (2001).
The song cycle is dedicated to my maternal grandfather, who died a prisoner in World War II, and to my maternal grandmother, who lived on without him. “No greater love…”
