Could you please tell me the name of the Stenhammer piece at the beginning? Thank you, great video!

You're welcome. The musical.extract is from Stenhammer's first quartet, second movement, played by Ussi Streichquartett.

It's a good poem, but I'm just absolutely not in love with that reading.
The poem is a man pleading for his father to fight, to not give up and die, to bless him with one more moment of vitality and action if it's to curse his son's name. It should have fire and passion and tears in it, yet the orator is reading it with about as much passion as a baloney sandwich on white... without mustard. Dry, bland, and unsatisfying.

@RyanB2112 Let him read it however he pleases, considering he wrote the damn thing. I feel the reading brilliantly portrays the poem's emotion: the acceptance of the inevitability of death, but with the perfect edge to show the urging and pleading with his father to die fighting.

@jmpatison Wow; bit of a necro-reply there, considering I wrote that comment over 2 months ago.
Anyway, I happen to believe an artist's creation is not limited to his own vision of its meaning. Everyone who experiences it creates a personal interpretation based on -THEIR- experiences. I, personally, see the poem as about defiance, not acceptance... perhaps because I've had to deal with some hard losses of my own, and I needed something to shake me out of my depression.
