Rhapsody for Utøya

A retro (alla Warsaw Concerto) rhapsodic tribute to 77 wasted lives. I watched a T.V. report showing how this murderer is being given 5 star treatment and 'human rights' in the 'prison' prior to his trial. I wrote this music the same day (14th April 2012) There is no real anger in the music, (I don't really do musical anger) but there is passion, sadness and frustration... but then there is also joy in the hope of eternal justice and resurrection.

The music does not in any way reflect the diabolical scenes on that day.
(Mel Stallwood)

small logoMel Stallwood has also released his solo piano CD ‘Piano for a Blue World’ The CD contains 4 originals plus 11 of the most beautiful romantic classics ever written. Composers include Chopin, Liszt and Debussy. The album’s mood is sadly reflective, romantic and nostalgic but ultimately relaxing, deeply sensuous, like a long soak in the bath.

 'Physical' CD's are available for post on our sales page
