Waking up to Bad News
By Daisy on March 1, 2026 8:54 pm
The beginning waking up in the morning. Sunshine, quiet, normal things. Plain intervals of 3rd and 4th in the flutes, then in the repeated in the trumpets, as I start really waking up. Then there is a 4 measure horn call ending with a dissonant chord with added trumpet. The flutes are weeping in horror trying to keep their act together. The 4 horns join the weeping- the last horn weeping at half the speed. 3 pauses like sobs. The flute bravely enters with a Swing rhythm, the horns bravely follow-the confident trumpet guides the way- the flute hits a high F as if saying LOOK! Then Pause, trill of disbelief on C- then flute bravely continues,with horns 1 and 2 marching faithfully underneath then--115 dead girls.
