Net Night en Fog bekeken . . . moet even bijkomen.

Net Night en Fog bekeken . . . moet even bijkomen. Het is een emotioneel zwaar beladen onderwerp zonder enige vorm van schoonheid . . . een nare realiteit geproduceerd door krankzinnige geesten. Wat zal het uitputtend zijn om hiervoor muziek te componeren. De opbouw, verwerking, thematiek en het einde waarin het verval door erosie een nieuwe werkelijkheid van het verleden creëert

Natural.

"Zo'n 25 jaar geleden - rond 1992 - heb ik een CD gemaakt met Danny Becher, getiteld Natural. De CD staat op mijn website. Ik werd in die tijd geconfronteerd met een moeder van 2 van mijn leerlingen die een zeer agressieve kanker had gekregen. Ik had haar een paar jaar lang elke week gesproken. Jonge vrouw, vol levenslust en dan ineens dit. Ik wilde afscheid van haar nemen, maar toen ik aan de deur kwam, mocht dat niet meer. Ik wilde toch iets doen en gaf de CD af aan de deur. De volgende dag werd ik gebeld. Of ik aub wilde komen. Ik heb met haar een half uur gesproken. Ze was heel ziek en had niet lang meer te leven. Ze had ondanks haar zware laatste uren de CD geluisterd en het had haar rust gegeven. Daarom wilde ze dat ik toch kwam. Het is voor mij zeer indrukwekkend geweest. Net als het proces van Pieter in deze opname, de Pietersymfonie. Hier beschrijf ik van fase tot fase in muziek het ziekteproces van iemand die ons dierbaar is geweest. En als een held is gestorven. Reactie: Wat een enorm indrukwekkend verhaal Fred. Ik weet hoe zeer jij begaan bent met muziek en zelf ook bijzonder goede en indrukwekkende muzikale composities schrijft, en ook hebt geschreven. Empathie op de bovenste plank, maar wel altijd een kritische beschouwing van de werkelijkheid. En steeds omgeven door noten, muziek, nieuwe idee??n en nog veel meer. Stilstaan is voor jou geen optie. De eeuwige verering voor D-Day en het respect voor al die mannen die 'ons Europa' hebben bevrijd, ligt je zeer na aan het hart. Jij hebt er een levenswerk van gemaakt dat heel veel waardering verdient. Groot respect mijnerzijds, Fred. Ga zo door ;-)"

my new book "Double Threat: Canadian Jews

Dear Fred, Congratulations on your website. I have used it for research purposes many times over the years, including to confirm details in my new book "Double Threat: Canadian Jews, the Military and WWII", just published by the University of Toronto's Anne Tanenbaum Centre for Jewish Studies New Jewish Press. I thought you might like to know about it, and I am taking the liberty of sending you a release about it, and perhaps you might wish to share this information with your subscribers? Yours very sincerely, EB Professor Centennial College Journalism

My father DFC

Hi Fred,

Good heavens! It looks like such a lot of information when it’s all together! 

Looks like such a lot of work. Thank you so much for doing this! 

Once again, thank you for the time and effort to do this. I certainly didn’t expect to see Dad’s information in its entirety. Warmly,
Lynda

My dad was in the 1st Division 16th Infantry Signal Corps. Company H

Dear Fred, Are you related to Ron Vogels. I am the daughter fo Alphonse J. Arsenault who was in the squad with Kwaak.

I have been corrosponding with him and his wife. My dad was in the 1st Division 16th Infantry Signal Corps. Company H. I wrote a story about him.

He was the mans in the water that Robert Capa took a photo of. I also found one of his pictures on your film. There is some discusssion of that man was Ed Reagan but I do have the facts about where and when my dad landed and have his Infantry Book. He made arrows of himself many years ago.

So I hope that you can give me som insight if you are realted to Rob. Suzanne
