Charles Griffes (1884-1920) is an outstanding American composer whose works don't stop impressing the lucky curious listeners who come across them. And we can only wonder what other masterpieces would come out of this genious mind if the Spanish flu pandemic didn't end his life way too soon - in his 35th year. I am inviting you to join me for some moments of silence with this meditative, almost hypnotizing melody, but also to give a thought about the situation of artists today - one hundred years later, but strangelly, still way too similar as it was back then.
