Description: Many thanks to Michael Rosen for generously allowing me to use his poem “I was listening to a pogrom…” for this piece! A protest song with a fair bit of sarcasm, reminiscent of Tom Lehrer. Creative Commons non-commercial license. Please use this piece to raise awareness or funds for refugees or anti-racism causes.
Difficulty level: fairly tricky for the pianist, maybe grade 5-6. Sung part is not very tricky, could easily be learnt by ear, goes from low B to high E, can be sung in a low or high octave. Spoken part requires some knowledge of rhythm but could be learnt by ear.
