An Irish lady pirate, a Portuguese queen, a Montenegrin mother, a French countess, a Jewish-American socialist, the Virgin Mary, and St. Ursula together with 11,000 other virgins are all featured on Faces of a Woman by Tapestry, the second MDG release by these three women from New England! The ensemble covers songs from around the world. From Hildegard von Bingen’s mystical and contemplative songs to Rachmaninov’s pleasant tones and to swinging rhythms, from medieval operatic drama to Balkan folklore and to modern music, to sailors’ songs and the first American blues.
