At the funeral (Latvian tango: "Bērēs"; music by Laila Salins; text by Gunars Saliņš) Video

Music: Laila Salins: Text: Gunars Saliņš Performed by The New Tango Project: Laila Salins, vocalist; Bill Schimmel, accordion; Machiko Ozawa and Marc Levine, violins; Leo Grinhauz, cello. A funeral in NY's Hell's Kitchen: "...the musicians no longer play on strings - they play on windows, ledges, floorboards, bowls - play on dripping candlesticks, shins and breasts, play on naked souls. At dawn bones put on some flesh to wear - souls shivered through the shoots of their hair." Performed at The Cell, in New York City, on Dec. 4, 2009, as part of "Accord-Discord", produced by Center for Contemporary Opera. Video by Garlia Jones, edited by Steve Simring
