Howdy Peter,

This piece sounds to me like a visit to a battlefield memorial - open, solemn, yet hinting at the action which has passed. I'm going to try it with GPO violins, just because I think it would be an interesting rendition. I'm also looking forward to hearing the fleshing out of the other pieces in the work.

As for the renegade apostrophe, it is most likely some spawn of the sprites of the bad American usage of the apostrophe in said fashion, which is so frightfully ubiquitous here.

ttfn,
Sherry
