Lembit Beecher: These Memories May Be True
IV. Variations on a Somewhat Old Folk Song
Lembit Beecher’s These Memories May Be True (2012) is a series of musical poems on elements of Estonian culture that his grandmother passed down to him. A natural storyteller through music, Beecher writes: “This piece is a little like the scattered image of Estonia that I had while growing up, filtered through many layers of retelling, and touched by a sense of nostalgia, a sense of something beautiful that has been lost in the wash of time.”
Live performance at Berkeley Chamber Performances (Berkeley, CA) on March 3, 2020.
