Songs of Grief and Sorrow

By Diana Blom

Regular price $25.00 Sale

Three songs for soprano and piano. Words by Milissa Deitz

When Milissa's little girl died unexpectedly, her mind fractured. In order to show the vertigo, disassociation and hyperarousal of what is known as complicated grief, the non-confluence between image, sound and word was uppermost in conceptualising the film, All the Little Boxes, directed by Iqbal Barkat and Milissa Deitz and written by Milissa Deitz, with cinematographer, Vincent Tay.

Songs of Grief and Sorrow draws on texts from the film script shaped into three aspects of grief, sorrow and memory. The songs were first performed by Australian soprano, Ayşe Göknur Shanal with pianist Eugenie Tamplon.
Composed 2021
