Amhrán do Yodit

By John KINSELLA

Hear It On Music For My Love, Vol. 2

Not long before Yodit’s death I sent Martin a short piece for solo violin entitled Amhrán do Yodit (‘Song for Yodit’) and will never forget him telling me that, rather than wait for a violinist, he had immediately rung her in hospital and sung it to her over the phone. This new string piece has no musical connection with that earlier work; instead, it is constructed with wisps of melodic material from the Eleventh Symphony that I was composing at the time and which were filling my imagination. It is therefore a very personal offering to both Martin and Yodit.
