The Ahmaud Theme occurs throughout the piece, โ€œRunning From, Running To: A Musical Reflection on Ahmaud Arberyโ€. ๐ŸŽผ Much like Bach embedded his own name as a motif in his compositions, @alexanderlblake did the same for the eight-movement work honoring the life of Ahmaud Arbery! In the first movement, โ€œWho Was Ahmaud?โ€, the cello is heard in the exposition of the piece, spelling out Ahmaudโ€™s name. ๐ŸŽป The choir joins in after a stunning introduction by the orchestra, outlining the Ahmaud theme. The note names directly correlate to his name ๐Ÿ“: A - A H - B natural (as Bach used) M - E (solfeฬ€ge letter Mi) A - A U - C (solfeฬ€ge letter Ut) D - D Listen to the full work on our album, โ€œSongs of Rememberingโ€, on all streaming platforms now!
