In memoriam, the bombing of Guernica, Spain, April 26, 1937. A lamentation in music.

And in 2024, for the injured, displaced, and departed around the world as invading forces of tyranny rain down death and destruction upon innocent people.

I literally cried as I updated my old composition about the bombing of Guernica. 

Originally composed in GarageBand, I finished the first version of this song on April 26, 2013, not consciously aware that the date was the anniversary of the atrocity committed by fascists against civilians during the Spanish Civil War. I had had ambitions to create an animated short about its history and Picasso’s famous painting when I could afford the technology. So my first step was to use available resources and create the music, which I did 11 years ago. I have yet to produce the animation. Maybe someday. The cover art gives you an idea as to how I envisioned the graphics for the animated short.

This Guernica composition is my first attempt at composing neoclassical music. As a girl I would sing and hum made-up symphonies as I conducted an imaginary orchestra. I’ve got hundreds of improvised concertos, sonatas, fugues, and arias deep in my memory banks that sometimes creep into my contemporaneous music.

This week, as the anniversary of Guernica approached, I imported my old music file into my current DAW and refreshed it, adding French horn, the first instrument I played as a young student. I also added audio of propeller planes recorded live in March and April 2024. And I pushed the previous violin and cello parts to the limit, so if you hear a screeching violin or a groaning cello, it’s intentional; war gives millions of reasons to scream and wail. The composition’s 8-chord structure is repeated as if to state the obvious — we, humans, have yet to contain our violence individually and collectively. We witness and experience the horror of mass murder and war around the globe. Every. Damn. Day.

I realize my song probably isn’t going to be a favorite for listeners, not my usual chill music. But I’m also a firm believer in the idea that sunlight is the best disinfectant. With this music about Guernica and the history of 1937, I am reminded how far we’ve come, and yet, how little we’ve changed. But change we must, and I believe humanity will change for the better. The question is when.

Guernica

I'm sorry y'all--this is another downer of a song with preachy lyrics but it's an idea that came up and demanded to be completed. 

The only side I take is the human one, but I couldn't have more contempt for the ostensible leaders of both Gaza and Israel who seek their own interests at the cost of so much suffering among innocents. Nothing good comes out of "Let's go kill some people."



You Let This Happen

have you understood that this is the final warning call
abandon hope all those that linger here

you lived the diamond life and could not lend your ears
and now the sand is wet with blood beyond our wildest fears 
how could you let this happen here

we plant the seeds of death beside the seeds of life 
so they can pay the price and have the will to fight

the bloodied face that no one could identify
now here's the news that was a mother's precious baby
how could you let this happen here

so how do you think this story ends
when it begins with the death of innocents
another thousand years of war is in the cards
another generation with daggers in their hearts

and you let it happen

You Let This Happen

Frescoes

In occasione dell'anniversario di nascita del Grande Maestro, un mio modestissimo tributo.

Vangelis Tribute.mp3

This is messy and rough, more like a demo -- it was all done in my scratch pad context (FL Studio), but then again the subject is messy and rough.

Take You Down

I can take you down
I can bring you right down put your face down to it
I can wait around ready for you

you are free to change your mind
you are free to leave this life behind
there's an open door but you don't go through it

I try to get away clean but you got me in a hold
you put your fingers in my head and I loose control
how will I ever be satisfied

I can help with the pain for a little while
cause you know it really just ain't my style
to let you feel what I'm doing when I'm doin it

got what I need and I need it
where does it end now
now that I've paid with my freedom

I just want to be free from all the craving of the night
hey yeah will there ever be a time when I feel it

Take You Down

Smooth as glass on the surface but beneath the calm of still water runs a deep relentless current. Don’t be fooled by a still appearance on top when below the mighty power of a torrent moves unseen.

Synths, synth guitars and pianos with reverb, synth bass set to a 2-step thump beat with bongos, congas, repique, and snare cajon at 75 bpm.

Water audio recorded live in February 2024.

Spoken Words
Drums announce the dance:
The time is the time, the time has come!
Desire to cost the ground, a heart for feeling
and my dream of life
Here, world, I am! 
Your smallest servant and biggest enemy wants to grow.
Step out from forests to bring you the treasure, the lost spirit!
Feel the breath of steppes and of cities.
The time is the time, the time has come!
The rhythm grabs streets and stops, 
jangles through houses and wakes up.  Everywhere's singing, shining, drumming.

(Today my word wants to travel, feel the breath of fairy tales,
not surprised about colours from the child's barrel
and rummage between stories,   
sing another song than usually.
The rhythm continues, from stone to stone, 
passes walls, nothing detains him.
Has found  the gravitation and lost again.

Romantically, you mean?  Could  be.)

I have recognised myself, have found my green foot in the wood.
in the ardour of midday I have put on the hat  which settled me down, 
much too settled, trapped in the town.
Now my eye breaks doors and walls 
and rushes towards adventures, the width of the sky.
No more debt skirt  which forces to the ground!
Dance with angels and on the night wind to my star, 
empty my conscience and see the world dream!
See how star people move and go new ways, 
leave the pugnacious ground and watch me in new mirrors.  
My bedstead is dance ship in the solar wind and storm the commandment.
I have freed myself from the burdon, the clutch of cold rules,
have jettisoned the crossed views
no gate that is not open, no sound that doesn't go by. In fading away there is already the next step, the new (state) born.
On many ways freedom approaches and spirit and spirit is my home
My heart is wide, has seen the silent sea, has dreamt love. 
Now, at the water footbridge, I am carefree.
That's fun.
