The four name arias in HARRIET TUBMAN: When I crossed that Line To Freedom, portray stages in the title character's transformation from slave to freedom-fighter. First, as a child, she introduces herself as Araminta, who is often called, Minty. Her naive prattlings establish a dramatic contrast between childhood's contentment and the harsh realities of slave existence. My name is Harriet, now. Don't call me Minty any more, declares the teenaged heroine. Having survived a series of abusive masters and a debilitating injury, she asserts her rites of womanhood through the shedding of her childhood moniker. The grown Harriet Tubman reintroduces herself as a free woman, recounting the harrowing tale of escape from slavery. Confronted by bittersweet poignancy at having crossed the line to freedom without family to welcome her, she is inspired towards a new goal: returning home to rescue loved ones. In the final aria, Tubman, a seasoned conductor on the Underground Railroad, embraces the folkloric title given to her by escapees and aspiring runaways. I am 'Moses, the Liberator,' she proclaims. Her transformation is complete.The four “name” arias in HARRIET TUBMAN: When I crossed thatLine To Freedom, portray stages in the title character's transformationfrom slave to freedom-fighter.First, as a child, she introduces herself as “Araminta,” who is oftencalled, “Minty.” Her naïve prattlings establish a dramatic contrastbetween childhood's contentment and the harsh realities of slaveexistence.“My name is Harriet, now.

This Marian antiphon survives in autograph score among the manuscripts once in Vivaldi's possession, today preserved in the Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria di Torino. It was evidently originally a four-movement work composed, possibly in 1726, for the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice, but the openingtwo movements, which must have occupied one or more separate gatherings, are lost. In these circumstances, a reconstruction of the complete work is not a worthwhile proposition, and the edition is therefore presented as a fragment. Its vocal part was notated by Vivaldi in the tenor clef, which was used at the Pietà by a number of singers among the figlie di coro who, in today's terms, would be classified as “low (or second) contraltos”. The score is of particular interest for featuring two parts named “Trombe” that are almost certainly not for brass instruments but for “violini in tromba marina”: specially adapted violins with only three strings anda distinctive bridge designed to mimic the raucous, rattling sound of a tromba marina.
