This is part of a piece I’ve been neglecting but spent quite some time on a month or so ago. The piece itself is tagging around 14 minutes right now and is slated to be one of a three or four part expose or soundstory of World War II. The speech is Queen Elizabeth and then Queen Elizabeth, the mother, taken from Archive.org so I’m not sure how to attribute. Old Dog’s piano was one of the palette selections for the piece and I have been very touched listening to this with many other sounds. It’s not pretty, refined or anything else, but Old Dog, your chords just seemed to resonate with this.

Regarding the larger work. It was suggested to me by another helpful cc’er that I submit a shorter version for cc, maybe 6 to 7 minutes. I just chopped a 2800 word paper to 1999 words for maximum word restriction, so I could probably do the same, but I’ll wait it out and see. Again, thanks Old Dog for the piano.
