A Song for Mick Kelly , from Victoire's debut album Cathedral City , was inspired by a character in Carson McCullers' novel The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. Mick Kelly is a fourteen-year-old with a strong imagination and a vivid inner life. She wants to be a composer, and even tries to build a violin out of a cigar box. in this work I imagine the music that Mick might write, setting lyrics by poet Farnoosh Fathi.
