Name: Decameron Days by Gary Rees
Duration: 4 min 48 s
Description: The Decameron is a 14th century work of literature by Giovanni Boccaccio. It recounts 100 stories told by a group of seven men and women who have left Florence to shelter together and wait out the passage of the Black Plague.

Mysterious, dystopian, medieval...a good representation of current times.  Great stuff Gary!!

beautiful composition! invigorating in its slippery rhythm and its atonal dimension! well done!

oh...this is really wonderful..so exiting.

The intro sets the mood... it also informs the listener that he or she is in for a magical journey.  

@ 2:03 wowzers... what just happened here! Amazing phase shift.

Raw Video - 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick explains why he is refusing to stand during the National Anthem.

Kapernick has guts. He sacrificed his career for the greater cause.  And he is right.

Prayer For The Departed

With Inner Truth

Harriet Tubman

Verse 1:
She was a master of a woman
Who brought many to Freedom
Risked life and limb in the pullman
Of the Underground Railroad to Freedom



Chorus:
Be Free, be free, Be Free, be free, freeeee
Be Free, be free, Be Free, be free, freeeee

Verse 2:
From down South to Philadelphia
Conducting slaves to freedom’s area
Freedom
Risking her life for others
Men, women, and children’s mothers

Chorus 2:
Harriet, is free, so free
Harriet is free, so free
Freeee

Bridge:
70 people brought to freedom
In 13 missions
Moses never left anyone behind
She followed
The abolitionist network

Verse 3:
During the civil war
She didn’t avoid the gore
The first female to lead an assault 
A nurse, spy, and cook
At least according to the book

Leading the Combahee Ferry Raid 
in South Carolina


Chorus 3:
Freedom on the Underground Railroad
Freedom on the Underground Railroad
Harriet Tubman brought
Freedom on the Underground Railroad
Harriet Tubman brought
Freedom on the Underground Railroad


Unused Lyric ideas:
Along the railroad
Risking her life



Timing description:
This song is in 5/4 time.
The versus change on the 1.
The first half of the choruses change on the 3, the second half of the choruses change on the 2.
The bridge changes every two measures.  It changes first on the 2 (C-F), then the 3 (B- F#) and then the 4 (Am-Dm), then the 5 (G-C).

Harriet Tubman

Distance has taken on new meanings.  For all the old meanings and the new…

UPDATE:  This was written a year ago, thinking of all the people who will be distanced during the Holidays.  In many parts of the world, the situation has returned to this again.  Thinking of all of you...
