Introduction by art historian Aleksandra Murre

Gaia is a piece where the goddess of the Earth from Greek mythology cries over the environmental pollution caused by the civilisation of today. The interesting juxtaposition is the bridge across two centuries – Stacy Garrop, a contemporary composer from the United States, expresses heartache
over the downfall of the environment, while Schubert shows the distinctively Romantic sorrow over the
ephemeral and fragile nature of young lives.
