Abstract

The article focuses on *Songs from Life*, a collection of 24 songs by composer Tom Herman, organized into six groups featuring texts by poets such as Elinor Wiley, WS Merwin, Denise Levertov, Sara Teasdale, and others. Notably, the collection includes *Gloria in Excelsis Deo*, a set of four songs with liturgical titles typically heard in choral settings, presented here with soprano Maggie Finnegan, pianist Joel Harder, and cellist Alexis Pia Gerlach. The performance highlights Finnegan’s clear vocal delivery, Harder’s piano accompaniment, and Gerlach’s cello contributions, offering a distinctive interpretation of Herman’s compositions.
