  Sarah Wallin Huff

  Few things are as paradoxically universal and idiosyncratic as grief: it befalls everyone at some point, but the manner in which it is handled is deeply personal. Artists, naturally, turn to art. Composers turn to composing. And Sarah Wallin Huff has created a musical vademecum in LIVING THE AFTERMATH, a song cycle which not only validates loss and tragedy, but also offers a path forward.

  Each part of this song cycle symbolizes a different stage of grief. In the first, sorrow is acknowledged; in the second, understood; in the third, accepted; and in the album’s closing piece, Psalm 47, the path forward is illuminated and embraced with hope. This is an album that does what few can: it offers perspective — and the result is genuinely uplifting.
