Dave O'Malley recently created a map of the soldiers, airmen and sailors from the Glebe who died during the the war. And spotting the music on the map.... After a local historian pinned down the addresses of World War two soldiers who died in his neighbourhood, an Ottawa composer turned the map into music. "The very first service person of the Allies to die in the Second World War went to Glebe High School." He said seeing the dots laid out on the Glebe's street grid made him think of music. "There were interesting melodic colours [in the map]," Leclerc said, noting that the way the dots stacked up on the lines of the map naturally led to certain harmonies.
