Before I learned of her death (from Covid-19 at the age of twenty-six) today, I had never heard of the very fine British composer Lucy Hale.
I have been listening to some of her music here on Soundcloud, and feel so sad. To write music of this quality before the age of twenty-six is remarkable. To write music of this quality at any age is remarkable.
I hope her music will be available (for publication or for upload into the IMSLP by her friends, family, and colleagues).
I found a list of some of her works.[Click for a larger view]
N.B. There happens to be a Lucy Hale who is an actress and pop music singer (same year of birth, but very different trajectory because of many factors), who has a huge on-line presence, which makes this Lucy Hale harder to find in the internets.
JANUARY 12th UPDATE: Here is a wonderful tribute to Lucy Hale by Becky Morris Knight of Drake Music.
