Composed by Mena Williams. This edition: pdf. 21st Century, Classical. Score and individual part. 9 pages. Mena C. Williams | The Unfinished Symphony #1388683. Published by Mena C. Williams | The Unfinished Symphony (A0.1828893).
Duration: 00:06:00
An Abandoned Woman's Lament was commissioned by the National Association of Teachers of Singing Inc. and the Cincinnati Song Initiative (CSI) and was premiered in the CSI Let it be New Concert Series in 2024
Program Notes: Originally, when composing this piece, I thought of the poem more like a siren's song, especially with the line, "Come to me."As well as the constant repetition of the word "Come" within the poem. Which is why I emphasized the phrase throughout the composition and paired it with an eerie, melancholy melody. But upon further research and looking through different analyses of the poem, I noticed how closely linked the themes were to death and mourning. Which is why I thought the title "An Abandoned Woman's Lament" would be fitting for the piece. This poem, in my opinion, feels strongly tied to women who have lost their children or husbands and have been left behind. While I still somewhat kept the idea of a siren song, I envision it more as a lullaby for those who have moved on. But when the loved ones don't answer. The plea becomes angrier. But towards the end, the piece calms down and reflects the motifs and the more melancholic emotions of the beginning. Almost like a bitter acceptance of the loss the woman has endured.
