...in memory of a dear friend that we lost this week. Written with love - and with grief...

Beautiful - a fitting Requiem to someone much loved.
Many shades to this - the gentle opening, the lilting clean theme (Remembrance?), the overdriven full on sections (anger, dismay and then Celebration?) and the quiet sombre Outro.
As sad an occasion as this is, I love this piece of music for all its light and shade - a typical Tony Lowther composition - but only to you can this powerful tune have REAL meaning.
Go peacefully, Tony. Our thoughts are with you and for whoever is celebrated here.

Hi Tony - Very sorry to hear of your loss. A moving composition with many different sections to it.
The Cello sound near the beginning and at the end are very haunting and sad and certainly add to the atmosphere of the song.
Kind regards.. Phil
