Noise #54 for Solo Piano

A hymn for Syrians

Dear Friends,

Today, Wednesday, September 14, 2022, Al Jazeera featured the article: Syria could return ‘to larger-scale fighting’, UN warns.

Noise #54 is meant to channel sorrow and prayers for Syrian lives that have been broken and broken again; the music’s cyclical structure reflects a conflict that seems to spin in perpetual, grinding motion.

Syria’s civil war is 11 years old. New headlines and life’s pummeling force make it easy to forget. I hope this music can help even a few of us remember.

Thanks as always for reading, listening, and sharing the noise,

Michael Gallant
