About the Piece:
Rescued is a song-cycle for soprano voice and piano composed during the Fall of 2022 for the project Songs of Hope: Unveiling Darkness. The lyrics of Rescued are poems drawn from stories of survivors of human sex-trafficking. Three stories of these survivors are featured here, although there are over 52,000 substantiated reports of human trafficking victims annually in the United States. The music aims to tell the stories of these survivors, both the pain and injustice they faced, as well as the hope and desire to rise above such horrific experiences.
