Ida Lewis

Published on September 25, 2018

Music

• We hear Waltz from the score to Angels & Insects.
• Movements IV and II from David Liptak’s Serenade for Alto Sax and Strings.
• A bit of Violin Solo no. 1 from Peter Broderick.
• Some of Zucht 2 from Machienfabrik.
• A bit of Origami Tulips from Lullatone.
• Unseen Forces from Justin Walter.
• Midnight Moon from Annalisa Tornfelt and Gideon Freudman
• Ida Lupino from Paul Bley’s Changes album from 1965.
• And Lost Fur (Reprise) from the score to Where the Wild Things Are.

Notes

• Many of my favorite things I read for this piece were contemporary newspaper tributes upon her death in 1911. They’re easy to find.
• By far the most useful thing I read was Lenore Skomal’s The Lighthouse Keeper’s Daughter: The Remarkable True Story of American Heroine, Ida Lewis. It’s very well researched and highly readable.
