Callings by amybryce published on 2014-05-18T18:10:46Z 'Lost in Translation' 'Lost in Translation' depicts a war of communication between culture. It uses two very distinct different melodic ideas. The first is a traditional Western pitch collection. The second, is based on arabic modes and melodic ideas aurally dictated during my time in the Middle East. Although these two themes have many common pitches, they face a constant battle throughout this piece; each one fighting to be heard whilst not quite letting the other be speak entirely. The purpose of this piece is to touch on the paradoxical language and culture barrier between the east and the west from which unnecessary conflict is caused. Peace will come through negotiation which first and foremost requires understanding. Genre Violin Comment by Daniel McBride wow amy well done! i love this 2014-05-18T21:03:03Z
