Subject: new song RE gun violence
Colleagues,
Attached is the score and recording of Shards, written in the week following the shootings at Parkland High School in Florida. It is a bitter and frankly unsubtle lament on the proliferation of senseless gun violence in our country. The recording is of the premiere performance, beautifully sung by my fellow faculty member Danielle McCormick Knox at the Greenville Fine Arts Center.
If you or anyone you know likes the song and would like to perform it out of passion for this issue, please be my guest. I prefer to think that we composers can occasionally nudge an important issue with our work.
Regards,
Jon
