I wrote this while visiting Jacob in the care home in which he lived, although non-speaking autistic, he communicated with me what he would like the song to be about, and what words he would most like to have in the song. I improvised the song for him, and then went home and made this track. RIP Jacob Lynn Dobson 1971 to 2020, you will always have a place in my heart.

Jacob's Swimming Song

Dawn the White Wake is a piece written in 1976 for flute, clarinet, piano, percussion and cello. It was widely performed by the wonderful soloists of the Ensemble Polychromie, directed by the vibrant conductor, Nvart Andreassian, and this recording is from 1984, performed in a large exhibition space somewhere in Europe!
The piece is an invocation to music, and is in 4 joined up sections: The Calling, The Preparation, The Awakening, The Memory.
