Music from the ongoing collaborative project talks not only of sadness, but also comfort and resilience

An Aids Quilt Songbook: Sing for Hope
(GPR Records)
Do a good deed for Christmas. Like the Aids Memorial Quilt, the Aids Quilt Songbook is an ongoing collaborative project.
This new disc features 20 songs, many directly on the subject of Aids, by as many composers and performers, including some illustrious names like Joyce DiDonato, Nicole Cabell and Anthony Dean Griffey.
The music talks of sadness, but also comfort and resilience, and the disc serves as an absorbing survey of American song today. In addition, Sharon Stone reads two poems.
All profits go to amfAR, the Foundation for Aids Research.
