notes
In the late 1980's and 1990's, AIDS swept across our cities and country with the ferocity of a modern day plague. It decimated thousands of victims, rendering them helpless. In the "sweep" were our most talented artists, mostly men in the height of thier creative lives.
A long time East Village resident, pianist, conductor and activist, Mimi Stern-Wolfe, began presenting concerts of music by composers who were living with HIV/AIDS or had died. The result is a unique body of work, full of beauty and wonder, that vividly captures the tragedy of AIDS.

Sudden Sunsets
author: Joan EngelhauptThis is a very emotional CD for me, partly given the context--that each song is written by someone living with or killed by AIDS. My brother, now killed by AIDS, wrote two of the songs on it ("Nobody Knows This Little Rose" and "Autumn", but the two which really tore me up, and which I listen to again and again, more or less learning how to sing them, are "Not Even if I Try" and "Journey's End". I think anyone who has experienced the HIV epidemic at close range will find this quite a CD. I guess I'm not enough into "new" music to truly appreciate many of the songs on it, however.
I found this site very easy to use
