Its densely populated capital Port-au-Prince sustained almost unimaginable damage, and the death toll, if it can ever be accurately reckoned, is believed by many to exceed 200,000. Hundreds of thousands more were left injured, maimed, and homeless&#8212;many of them young children.</font></h3> <h3><font color="#ffffff"><b><i><font color="#ffff99">Recovery from this major natural disaster is likely to take decades, but you can help to accelerate the process by contributing generously to the relief or charitable organization of your choice (see links below for a list of possibilities). If you enjoy our Delian Suite No. 6 (see mp3 links below), we urge you to donate as much and as often as you possibly can.</font></i></b></font></h3> <h3><font color="#ffffff">Although the Delian Society is not a relief or charitable organization and does not solicit contributions, an international group of our composers and performers, collectively moved by the tragedy, have created this suite of movements for flute and guitar based on the beloved Haitian melody "Dodo titite" ("Sleep, Little Baby") to help to keep international attention focussed on Haiti.</font></h3><font color="#ffffff"> </font><h3><font color="#ffffff"><i><font color="#ffff99">The music is available for the first time here for download, recorded by the Serenade Duo (movements 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 in the alphabetical list below, and additional link at movement 5) and a special duo comprised of flautist Melanie Chirignan and guitarist Tim Maynard. The score and parts of the Delian Suite No. 6: Variations on a Haitian Lullaby will be available free of charge in PDF format to any flute and guitar duo committed to performing our music for the express purpose of benefitting the people of Haiti. A bound edition of the same will also be available for the cost of materials and shipping alone (please inquire through our e-mail link below) at a future date. Permission to broadcast or present our music for non-profit humanitarian or cultural purposes, including radio broadcasts, will usually be expeditiously granted, but requires our prior written approval.</font></i></font></h3> <h3><font color="#ffffff"><font color="ffffff">We hope you enjoy our music, and if you or one of your colleagues or students performs our work, we will gladly announce and acknowledge your concert on this web page. If you are interested in commissioning any of our composers for new works, feel free to contact her/him directly. You may also post a message to him/her by using the e-mail link at the bottom of the <cite>Delian Suite No. 6</cite> web pages.</font></font></h3><h3> <p><font color="#ffffff">&nbsp;</font></p> </h3></div> <div align="center"> <p><img src="Serenade_Duo.jpg" alt="The Serenade Duo"></p> <p><a href="http://www.serenadeduo.com/Site/Welcome.html"><cite>The Serenade Duo</cite></a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img src="Melanie_Chirignan.jpg" alt="Melanie Chirignan, Flute"></p> <p><a href="http://melaniechirignan.com/"><cite>Melanie Chirignan</cite></a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img src="Tim_Maynard.jpg" alt="Tim Maynard, Guitar"></p> <p><a href="http://www.timmaynard.com/"><cite>Tim Maynard</cite></a></p> </div> <div align="left"> <font color="#ffffff"> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3><i><font color="#ffff99">Special thanks go to the Serenade Duo&#8212;flautist Michelle LaPorte and guitarist Gerry Saulter, and to flautist Melanie Chirignan and guitarist Tim Maynard, for their outstanding artistry and support of contemporary tonal music, and to all those who gave so generously of their expertise, musical creativity, and skill to make this project a reality.
