about

An album of wordless lullabies for solo voice featuring music by Jay Derderian, Michelle McQuade Dewhirst, Lee Hartman, Julia Seeholzer, Arthur Breur, Griffin Candey, Tony Manfredonia, Jen Wang, and D. Edward Davis.

In March of 2017, Shaya Lyon tweeted, "On my list of fantasy commissioning projects: wordless lullabies for the sleepless, sung by @mezzoihnen." So, I quote tweeted her suggestions with, "Composers, can we make this happen?" and received an overwhelming response of people who were interested. That told me that this was a project that was ripe for the happening. This is the first of three albums to come out of the Sleep Songs project. Thank you to Shaya for the inspiration and support.
