Goddesses

Goddesses is the third offering in Navona Records’ The Shakespeare Concerts Series, which presents several works by composer Joseph Summer from his collection of settings of Shakespearean scenes, sonnets and soliloquies, Oxford Songs. These particular works are reflections on feminine divinity, from the literal to the metaphorical to the figurative aspects of this concept. Summer’s deep knowledge of Shakespeare’s works and rich compositional technique produce a musical and literary experience that adds layers of insight to Shakespearean characters and themes.
