Description
This work was completed on February 2nd 1996, in response to the composer's sister having suffered a heart attack on New Year's Day. Contrary to all expectations, she made an astonishing recovery, and the
composer was able to revise certain ideas to produce a generally suitable piece for any funeral, which is relatively easy to play. The composer is grateful to his cousin, Kenneth Bayliss for advice on the registration,
and also for the suggestion that the piece is suitable for string orchestra. An arrangement for strings was therefore made by the composer and is published as DC 275.
