"You're lovely, but you're empty," he went on. "One couldn't die for you. Of course, an ordinary passerby would think my
rose looked just like you. But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one I've
watered. ”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Solo Works and Duets
Toys that sing, toys that sing like your mommy… Not the electronically synthesized sound, but a sound that is only tailored for you. Breathe, laugh, cry, cuddle and hug…
That is the imaginary toy that we as musical moms want for our babies. This piece explores eight nursery songs, from 'Farmer in the Dell' to 'ABC' song , sometimes explicitly and sometimes ambiguously. When I was first asked to write a piece for Duo Cameraderie, I knew I had to write something about motherhood as that was how three of us met. I thank Duo Cameraderie for their inspiration and applaud for their hard work especially as mothers.
