Today, during our music session with Miss Haswell, we learned about Grazyna Bacewicz, a Polish composer from the time of World War 2. It was not very common for a woman to be recognised for their work at this time.
During this time, in 1943, she continually played underground concerts hiding from German soldiers. Her overtures included a secret message in Morse Code. We got to discuss the message in her music, clapped the rhythm and explored the musical instruments that may have played these rhythms.
