Yesterday was remembrance day and the rest of my family had an amazing experience at the Legion's service held here in Milton. You can read about that experience here. I had an appointment in the morning and was unable to make it there, so I found myself at home alone with some moments of quiet to remember. I watched a bit of the service from Ottawa on T.V. long enough to hear the The Last Post, a moment of silence, Taps, the bagpipe lament and the last verse of the famous poem In Flanders Fields. I was thinking about that poem that I have heard so many times, and as often happens, my reflections began to take a musical turn. Sometimes art is as much about the process as it is the final product, it is a natural part of how I reflect and explore and yesterday, in the quiet, that is what I found myself doing. I took a couple of moments to record a rough demo of the outcome. If you follow the link below you can listen to In Flanders Fields set to a tune that I wrote yesterday.
