‘Love and Justice’ Women’s Anthem
Posted on May 10th, 2009 by Ameel
There are two things (so far) that I wish my mother had been alive to see, read or experience: the last few Harry Potter books and the following performance of ‘Love and Justice’ which was composed by Kavisha Mazzella and sung by over 400 women of Victoria late last year:
I get a shiver down my spine every time I listen to it.
The anthem was commissioned by the Victorian Women’s Trust to celebrate the centenary of women’s suffrage in Australia and was performed at the BMW Edge auditorium at Federation Square in Melbourne. For more on the anthem, check out the ABC News’ coverage of it.
Also check out Mazzella’s MySpace page which features more of her awesome music.

Sorry to hear your mum has passed away Ameel. I have seen this performance via email… it is very moving. A great anthem to honour the mothers who has passed away. xox
Thanks, Catherine. And, yes, that is a great way to honour mothers who have passed away. My mother, being a constitutional lawyer and women’s rights activist who spent much of her life fighting for women’s equality, would have particularly enjoyed it.
