Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep (Take 3)

from STRIPPED FRIENDS -The SOMBFAS Sessions by Schönfeld

/

about

Much to my shame I do not read enough poetry. However, wanting to add some consoling words to a photo book I made for my father of some of my mum's old photographs I came across this truly beautiful vignette by one Mary Elizabeth Frye, of whom I had never heard before. There are musical settings to the words already, most of which I found rather pretentious and overblown. So I set out to find an easy, light, lullabye-like melody and found it. As goes with all 'easy' melodies, this one took countless takes to get it halfway right.
