Program Notes:
Leah Goldberg, a cherished Israeli poet, holds a special place in my literary preferences. The three songs under discussion were not composed sequentially. Instead, they were gathered to form a brief song cycle that explores the introspective ruminations and desolations experienced by a solitary woman.
Despite their individuality, the three songs exhibit a remarkable similarity in motives, descriptions, and vocabulary, with some words intriguingly possessing a dual significance.
