FROM THE COLLECTION: WHAT HAPPENED ON AUGUST THIRD

“My Grave Song” is the third part in a small collection for flute, cello and piano called “What Happened on August Third”. The interesting thing is that no one will ever know what really happened, as I’ve decided to keep it an eternal mystery. Only by playing and listening to the music might you come close to the truth.

When I am dead, the music will be like wind chimes in Summer.

When I am dead, the music will be still and passing.

When I am dead, there will be a melody, an indescribable melody, more light than music.

And it will go, as did I, and the chimes will ring by my grave.

The other parts are:

1. Two Liars
2. You Don’t Understand Me
3. My Grave Song

You are free to play this piece, in full or in part. The sheet music is free to download and share. You don’t need to notify me, but if you perform my music in a public concert (especially in Finland), please submit a performance notification (esitysilmoitus in Finnish) to Teosto, the Finnish music rights organisation. If you are unable to do so (or don’t know what it means), don’t hesitate to get in touch with me at contact@kuuraklaavu.com or send me a DM on Instagram or Facebook @kuuraklaavu, and I’ll answer!

Thank you for checking out my work! 🙂 Stars adore you!
