Time To Honour Clive Bradley At Museum's Entrance
Many
ideas about a proper memorial are being entertained for master musician
Clive Bradley since his passing. And we are sure many more will be explored
in the near and further future. Mr. Bradley won a record ten New York
panorama competitions among his many other accomplishments as recently
reported in the New York Times. Nine of these wins took place on the
Brooklyn Museum grounds. In this regard, nothing short of a life-like
memorial statue and site honoring the master at the entrance of the Brooklyn
Museum would adequately address this giant's significance and work.
Clive Bradley, a former educator, was internationally known and respected
for his musical accomplishments with the steelband orchestras. Mr. Bradley
was an advocate for academic achievement and music literacy. This
intellectual's music masterpieces brought together group of citizens from
many walks of life globally. His genius lay in his ability to take
traditional Caribbean folk music laced with African motifs and arrange it in
a manner that challenged, and many times surpassed the greatest musical
compositions ever written. And all the more remarkable that all this was
written for, and executed on, the unconventional steelpan family of
instruments.
Clive Bradley's life and music have impacted, do and will continue to,
impact on the world. It changed the world and improved the quality of life
for all who heard it. Moreover, his music will impact on those who will
change the world in the future.
