S4-06: Patchwork Quilt, Part XVI

“We are all patchwork, and so shapeless and diverse in composition that each bit, each moment, plays its own game.”  – Michel de Montaigne

Every couple of months I bring you a Patchwork Quilt episode.  This is music and performances by women with no special theme tying the works together – just beautiful music.
