Belonging: A Carillon Call to Care for All ii: Earth Blood Reprise by Pamela Ruiter-Feenstra published on 2020-06-24T19:54:48Z From my BELONGING collection, "Earth Blood Reprise" refers to earth, the home of all humans, originating from the first humans found in Ethiopia; blood, as in bloodshed in the inhumane acts of slavery; and reprise or ritornello, meaning a recurring section, and the vexing, insanely recurring acts of cruelty, injustice, and prejudice by humans to humans who share the same earth and blood. Earth Blood Reprise features train whistles & rumbles, and swatches of a song depicting the Underground Railroad, “Follow the Drinking Gourd,” the African American spiritual “Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen,” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” A swath of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata symbolizes the prejudicial abuse dedicatee Jackie Doneghy experienced when she auditioned at a Midwest conservatory in 1970. Her light shines brighter.
