by Sarah Gorham (Author)
Using her own "funeral playlist," Sarah Gorham examines the intricate connections between music, consolation, and human mortality.
The essays in this unique collection explore a diverse range of songs, including Mozart's "Benedictus" (The Requiem), Nina Simone's rendition of "Black is the Color of my True Love's Hair." Caccini's 17 th century madrigal "Amarilli, mia bella," the Irish "Parting Song," Matthew Houck's (aka Phosphorescent) dirge-like "Be Dark Night," and "King and Lionheart," sung by Of Monsters and Men. But there's also the song of a mourning dove, and the nonchalance of a human hum. All may become a medium of transcendence for the living (and, possibly, the departed). What makes the book distinctive is its deeply personal approach. A series of memoir-like interstices reveal what art and artmaking can do to unite these subjects. By sharing her own story and the music that has shaped it, Sarah Gorham invites readers to think about their own relationship with death and what they want their own funeral playlist to look like.Author Biography
