For SSAA and piano She Sang the Stars uses the lens of Elias Lonnrot's Finnish epic, the Kalevala, to explore the stages of womanhood. With all texts in English translation, the work's outer movements act as an introduction and conclusion, while the central movements profile three female characters from the Kalevala at different stages of life.
