- Description
The four "name" arias in HARRIET TUBMAN portray stages in the title character's transformation from slave to freedom-fighter.
First, as a child, she introduces herself as "Araminta", who is often called "Minty." Her naïve prattlings establish a dramatic contrast between childhood's contentment and the harsh realities of slave existence.
