Mortality Mansions

“Mortality Mansions” is a song cycle by Grammy Award-winning composer Herschel Garfein and distinguished American poet Donald Hall. The song cycle explores themes of love, sexuality, and bereavement in old age. This project was created in collaboration with The Heyman Center for the Humanities at Columbia University, the Program in Narrative Medicine at Columbia Medical Center, and Sparks & Wiry Cries, for their Casement Fund Song Series, with special thanks to Barnard College and Columbia University School of the Arts.
