	Cancer Ward takes its title from Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s novel of that name. The music develops one main melody as the story develops the cancer that grows through the main characters body. This performance is by the Talujon percussion Quartet, (Written for them by request from David Cossin), it was played at Merkin Concert hall as part of the World Institute Concert series.

	Story Behind the Song Cancer Ward takes its title from Alexander Solzhenitsyns novel of that name. The book is about a hospital in mid 20th century Soviet Union. The music develops one main melody as the story develops the cancer that grows through the main characters body. Solzhenitsyns writing is powerful and to the point, he lived the communist nightmare. I repeat this melody (with variation) many times to bring home the frustration Solzhenitsyn expresses about his environment
