Description:
John and Mary Byun lost their unborn twin girls in October of 2003 at 26 weeks due to complications from twin to twin transfusion syndrome. For his performance at the 2020 ACDA Western Region Conference, John asked me to create a musical work to remember his daughters. This work explores a tradition called keening, found in numerous cultures around the globe, in which a mournful lament is sung as part of a ritual honoring those who have passed on before us.
