Juliana is thrilled to announce the release of her latest recording – AMERICAN WOMAN: Helen Crane – An Elegy Rediscovered – as part of her ongoing collaboration with PARMA Recordings’ GRAMMY®-winning Navona Records.
Honored with the National Composers Prize in 1919, Helen Crane’s paean to the losses of the Great War mysteriously disappeared following her death in 1930, and was presumed lost for decades. Determined to reclaim this work by an American master, Juliana partnered with the Library of Congress and the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts in a uniquely collaborative effort to recover Crane’s missing manuscript.
“We don’t often think of them this way, ” Juliana said, “but our libraries are the guardians of our shared cultural heritage. They protect and preserve the works of our most vulnerable artists, and I am so honored to have been able to work with the Library of Congress and the Library for the Performing Arts in returning ‘An Elegy’ to the American canon.”
