Lynn's Lament

by Pauliina Isomäki

for soprano and piano

Description

The writer of these lyrics, Tina Lynn Starr, had lost her adult son. The text was not intended to be a poem, much less published - instead it was a simple answer to a question how she was copinng after her loss. However, her answer was so beautiful that the composer Pauliina Isomäki heard it as music, and had to compose it.

This tragedy was a private one, but shared by all too many people in the world, mothers, fathers, friends and relatives. Many people can relate to these words and maybe even find some comfort in them.
