Bitter Weeping
For the 60 Million Children Legally Killed in the USA since 1973
A brooding atmospheric piece that combines traditional acoustic instruments with electronic synthesizers. The piece begins with a synthesizer playing a drone in the bass; its timbre slowly morphs as it “drones on”. Gradually the lower strings (Bass, Cellos, and Viola) enter; each playing a rhythmically distinct ostinato that goes in and out of phase with the other instruments. The basses and violas are doubled by a synthesizer to form a complex timbre. The static E Aeolian harmony and rhythmically displaced ostinatos impart an uneasy feeling in the listener. The addition of the bass drum adds a foreboding feel to the music. The Marimba and Vibraphone enter, each combined and layered with a synthesizer to form a compounded timbre, adding to the growing tension before the Soprano enters at the four and a half minute mark singing a paraphrase of the words of Jeremiah 31:15. At the same time a celesta double by a sampled toy xylophone enter adding the to uneasy sound world of the song.
• Lamentation and bitter weeping

• She refuses to be comforted
• for her children
• for they are not

The Vocaloid synthesizer by Yamaha was used to record the vocal line.
