Women of History - organ music by Carlotta Ferrari

The five compositions on this album are inspired by the lives and works of five women from history. Carlotta Ferrari has composed numerous pieces inspired by historical figures as well as pieces inspired by literature and works of art. Several of these directions are brought together in the five compositions on this album, which celebrate three religious figures, an artist, and a writer. In Ferrari’s distinctive modal style, she creates expressive musical portraits of these women.

Beautifully performed by Carson Cooman, this album features the exquisite sounds of the Main Organ (Marcussen & Son, 1973) of the Laurenskerk, Rotterdam, captured through the Hauptwerk system.
