Product Description

Laid to Rest composed by Johnson Lee was played at the funeral of the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew, founding Prime Minister of modern Singapore. I was moved to compose this piece "Laid to Rest" as I saw death as a final resting place and the funeral, a celebration of that persons life as he is sent off on a journey of peace. Hence, this piece takes on a lighter, hopeful yet reflective feel compared to other pieces of heavier, melancholic notes. I was deeply honoured when it was first played / performed at Singapores late founding father, Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yews funeral. I had to control my tears as I was conducting the band and was so grateful for being able to honour him with my composition.
