We are a community with shared destiny, and in this year many of us have experienced unexpected harm. The short composition I wrote, Peace Offering, is my offering to those who are in low spirits, going through a hard time, or have difficulties finding their critical interests. I found my own peace and got to know what my critical interest is by listening to Amy Beach's Sanctus, which I adore. With much respect to Amy Beach and her work, my offering here is also a support to female composers with clear pursuits and determination in this time.
Support female composers, that could be consciously requesting their work, listening to their work, sharing their work with someone else, or playing their work if accessible. Have a few minutes of meditation on a daily basis, and pass your peace to those who are in low spirits.
I am Sanaky, a current student of School of Music, Theatre and Dance, University of Michigan pursuing a bachelor's degree in musicology; also interested in film music and philosophy.
