Crown Thy Good for solo piano 鋼琴 鋼琴獨奏 朔特版

老實說，當 Min Kwon 邀請我參與這個項目時，我很不情願。我認為民族主義情緒是危險的，我不會為這個國家或任何國家寫歌或唱讚美歌。我肯定不是唯一這樣想的人，尤其是現在我們看到這個國家一些最有權勢的公民打著虛假的愛國主義旗號，對最脆弱的群體實施恐怖、殘忍和暴力。最後，我沒有拒絕邀請，而是設法創作了這首枯竭、矛盾、哀傷的回聲--維賈伊-伊耶爾"

原文簡介:
In all honesty, when I was invited by Min Kwon to participate in this project, I was quite reluctant. I find nationalistic sentiment dangerous, and will not write or sing praise songs to this or any nation. I am surely not alone in this, especially now that we’ve seen some of this nation’s most powerful citizens implement terror, cruelty, and violence against the most vulnerable, under a false banner of patriotism. In the end, instead of declining the invitation, I managed to assemble this depleted, ambivalent, mournful echo of the original.– Vijay Iyer
