Songs of Juana Borrero: Canciones de Juana Borrero. Svorinic, S. Master's thesis, Tufts University, 2022. ![Songs of Juana Borrero: Canciones de Juana Borrero [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
URL abstract bibtex Songs of Juana Borrero (Canciones de Juana Borrero) is a niney-minute song cycle setting the poetry of the eponymous 19th century Cuban poetess and painter. It utilizes 19 of her poems for a total of 23 performative segments. The segments are either accompanied art song (soprano and piano; soprano, piano and chimes; or soprano, cello, and piano), electronics with pre-recorded vocals and narration; solo cello; a cappella singing; spoken recitation accompanied by cello; or unaccompanied spoken recitation. This project illuminates the life of an extraordinary young artist who died at the age of 18 from tuberculosis while in political exile during Cuba's war for independence from Spain. Borrero's name and contributions remain largely unknown today, even by the Cuban people. My project aims to shed light on her life and work, and so I have translated her poems into English for the first time. The following essay expounds upon the meaning and purpose of each of the songs, the reasons for their texts' inclusion into a musical exposition of her life, and describes the composer's personal connections to this woman's experience. It also draws connections between Borrero's story and the experience of our own time, which has endured a virus that, like the bacterial tuberculosis, attacked the lungs, inflicting a particular mortal suffering which this author intimately understands
