Libby Larsen

Lift me into Heaven Slowly

The solo vocal music catalogue of Libby Larsen has become a substantial staple in the American Song repertoire. As a feminist and advocate for women in the Arts, this album celebrates some of Larsen’s most beloved song cycles in which women poets and characters are the central figures. Larsen has always gravitated towards the stories of strong women: hardship-enduring women like Cather’s Antonia, gender-role defying women like Calamity Jane, and the ill-fated wives of Henry the VIII, Larsen lifts up the virtues and highlights the universal struggles of women throughout history.
