I sat down at the piano last Friday evening and came up with piano's right hand. I transcribed it and added the left hand Saturday night. Then I got stuck and wrote, "Keep Breathing, Fresh Air" instead. After everyone was in bed I sat back down at my computer and caught up with work, the news, etc., and opened the score up again. I wrote the other three parts in about 45 minutes, and felt so emotionally drained from the experience that I couldn't write more. I still can't, so I won't.
So, here it is. A short lament to 50,000 dead and counting.
