By Mirla. By Emily Mirla Harrison. Arranged by Andrew Rostas. Classical,Contemporary,Romantic Period. Score. 4 pages. Little Symphony Records #318361. Published by Little Symphony Records (A0.710426).
A romantic, stirring piano solo, influenced by the Romantics, particularly Rachmaninoff. A passionate protest piece, that decries the futility of imperial wars and pays homage to those unsung women of Mirla’s generation, whose patience, stoicism and quiet passion helped them to endure and steel our nation to the horrors of war. It begins in gut-wrenching piano motif. An expression of all the sadness and sufferings of war. Then, it drops, into a deep well of fury, with dark, pulsating ostinato base notes; an echoed refrain from "… Konyu Cutting". The tension and anger builds with each register lift, with each slamming note and chord shift, before an impossibly dramatic breakdown, with a stark rhythm change and hugely satisfying and dignified chords that pound the keys, to smash imperial ambitions and celebrate of love and humanity. The piece is a feminine response to the masculine context of “… Konyu Cutting". It ends with a return and resolution of that deadly piano motif.
