This morning, as my personal response to the Refugee Crisis, I have written a short piece of music for string quartet. It's called Aylan (after the 3-year old whose body was found on the beach a couple of days ago).
The piece can be found in this folder:
- there's a Sibelius score, score and parts as PDFs and an MP3 of the Sibelius "performance".
I'm going to be circulating it to friends I know who play in string quartets to see if any of them will perform it AND, hopefully, continue to put pressure on the governments of Europe - maybe even ask audiences to donate to some of the charities who are trying to help this dreadful situation.
Thanks for reading this and please feel free to forward it to anyone else you think might be interested.
