Lyric - George Walker (1922 - 2018)
arranged for piano by Luis Ramirez
The classical music world is overwhelmingly white and male. It is embarrassing to admit that it was only a few years ago when I understood how problematic this systemic racism is, but I want to take action and improve things within my field. I wrote this arrangement for piano of George Walker's "Lyric", a beautiful piece of music that I thought would be an appropriate counterpoint to the chaotic state of the present world.
I am hopeful that times are changing, and I hope you consider incorporating and advocating for the music of marginalized communities in your performances.
Dedicated to the victims of police abuse.
