Happy Holidays
By Mike Prcic
As the holiday season approaches, we are reminded of the current COVID-19 pandemic. It has been a difficult time for many of us. I have been in touch with many composers. Many are suffering, especially the older ones. Some are not infected but still need medical care, which is not available, since the hospitals are swamped with COVID-19 patients. One of StrateGems’ editors lost his younger brother to COVID-19. A long-time subscriber from Italy informed me that his whole family was infected. He had the hardest time with the infection but survived and is now COVID-19 negative.
On a positive side (if there is such a thing), we all have ample time for composing (and in my case for playing online bridge). WCCT-11 should benefit from the pandemic. Nevertheless, I hope the vaccine arrives soon, is effective, and that we all can go back to our lives.
To brighten the holiday spirit, Kurt Keller has sent a composition that reminds us of the Christmas tree. Thank you, Kurt!
