The work features music by 14 women identifying composers Leila Adu, Ruby Kato Attwood, Danielle Birrittella, Sheena Birrittella, Christina Courtin, Gabrielle Herbst, Molly Joyce, Emma O’Halloran, Tanner Porter, Kamala Sankaram, Bergrún Snæbjörnsdóttir, Annika Socolofsky, and Gyda Valtýsdóttir, with additional music by Ellen Reid⁣.  The music is set to text by poet Marie Howie, whose poetry collection “Magdalene” reimagines the life of the biblical Mary Magdalene.
