Love is Forever CONTENTS
Songs of Romantic New Orleans
This CD is organized to promote a diversity of musical styles and genres found in the legacy of
the music of New Orleans. Features classical music, especially that which is rarely performed.
The unusual combination of mezzo voice, viola and piano adds a timbre to the music that is both
warm and bold. The addition of folk songs and world standards sung as a trio or as duets gives
new light and new sensitivity to those genres and comes as a truly fresh surprise to the
listener.
