A HUNDRED THOUSAND DAYS OF LIGHT encompasses songs from the American Revolution to songs by
American composers, including a piece composed specifically for Ms. Qunitiliani by Grammy nominee Lori Laitman,
set to a poem by Dana Gioia. Songs by others include Carrie Jacobs Bond (1862-1946), Hans J. Salter (1896-1994), Samuel Barber (1910-1981), and Gian Carlo Menotti (1911-2007).
“If there is any justice in the opera world, Barbara Quintiliani should be heading for superstardom… she has
the vocal hardware to become a cult figure outside the glamorous opera circuit, with her gleaming timbre,
fearless leaps between the extremes of registers and apparently bottomless reserves of breath.”
— Hugh Canning, “The Sunday London Times”
