Mourned from Afar - Geert Jan Kroon | Concert Band (Demo)

Mourned from Afar is a work for concert band, soprano and baritone written by Geert Jan Kroon. It is intended as a requiem for the times we went through in the pandemic that started in 2019. In addition, it is a personal testament to the emotions and struggles that the composer himself went through during this time.
The text was written by Monique Bronkhorst and used in the work in three languages. At the moment there is only the Swiss version with solos in German, French and Italian and brass band accompaniment.
The work consists of the following parts:
Prologue
Healthcare Heroes: solo for soprano
Transition 1
Loneliness: solo for baritone
Transition 2
Earth: duet for soprano and baritone
Transition 3
Lament: solo for soprano
Transition 4
Solidarity: solo for baritone
Transition 5
What if: duet for soprano and baritone
Epilogue
The transitions form the connecting element between the different sung parts.
The title refers to part of the text: "from a distance: mourned, loved and missed" from the Lament.
