a suite to mark that episode in our lives, pianist Amina Figarova has captured the feelings that we all share.
Product Description
Pianist/composer Amina Figarova’s The September Suite is not just a homage to the victims and those they left behind after the September 11th, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington DC. First and foremost it is an Ode to Mourning, a sketch of grief that may occur in any way, shape or form, anywhere in the world, at any given moment, whether it be caused by massive manifestations of human aggression, or small, but equally fatal ones, by natural disasters, accidents, famine, disease or unfortunate twists of fate. It is also a sensory analysis of the stages of grief everyone faces when dealing with a great human loss: death rendering one speechless, bringing emptiness, making one deny the end, showing pictures of life, leading to powerless rage and commanding acceptance until finally only grief, silence and longing remain.
