Mother: a Musical Tribute

 Queens and saints, homemakers and lawmakers, scientists and artists, goddesses and mortals—mothers are powerful muses. Inspired by their rich complexity, we sought to utilize our full creative potential as arrangers and interpreters in musical compositions that celebrate the full spectrum of motherhood, from the sacred (“Ave Maria”) to the saucy (“Mrs. Robinson”), and everything in between.
