Program Notes:
Leah Goldberg is one of my favorite Israeli poets. The three songs were not written in sequence, and were collected to a short song cycle which is dealing with the inner thoughts and despairs that run in the head of a lonely woman. Nevertheless, the three songs share many similar motives, descriptions and common words that in some cases have double meaning.
