Powerfully poignant and equally tender, MY DEAREST RUTH is Garrop’s musical setting of thefinal love letter from Martin Ginsburg to his wife, the opera-loving Supreme Court Justice RuthBader Ginsburg, only days before Martin’s passing. Commissioned by the family to celebrateJustice Ginsburg’s 80th birthday, the work later became a highlight of the Cedille Records CD“Notorious RBG in Song.” MY DEAREST RUTH is a touching 6½-minute scene, touching in sound,deeply dramatic in meaning.
