A piece I wrote for SATB choir, recorded at the first concert Capella Academica could give after the COVID pandemic got somewhat under control on 24/june/2022. This piece won a second prize in the composition contest "Vic Nees" edition 2020 but could not be sung until now...
This morning, like he has done each morning,
for the last ten years, my father picked a wild flower
on his walk, and took it to my mom.
I decided to follow him to see her today (see her today).
And as he placed the flow'r on her grave, he said,
I wish I had picked her a fresh flower, when she was alive.
She would have loved that.
She would have loved that, would have loved that.

Some weeks ago, a 13 year-old took her own life after being bullied and physically assaulted inside and outside of school and harassed online. Literally everyone she reached out to for help (school, police and social media moderators) did literally nothing to help, in some cases brushing it off as not worthy of their time, culminating into tragedy. For some reason this news story hit hard and the way I feel most comfortable to deal with such news is to express it in sound.
In this experimental piece, I use a form of minimalism, repeating the same 24 note wide dissonant chord spread over the virtual piano keyboard over and over, only varying individual note volumes and timings, bringing out some patterns hiding in the mess. Many attempts to say the same thing in a different way, ending in emptiness.")
