An Ever-Fixed Mark
C4's February concert involves settings of Shakespearian texts. I was originally going to enter the Pacific Chorale's competition with this piece, and the theme being love, I chose Sonnet 116 as my text ("Let me not to the marriage of two minds admit impediments").
Normally, I try to rush through a piece, finishing in time for a competition, but never quite loving the results (and, more recently, not placing). This time I tried something new - I was patient with myself and my writing, and gave up on the contest. This gave me a month more to work on the piece.
It's pretty much done now, and I think it sounds pretty good! Hopefully it shows some growth in my ideas. I submitted it to the C4 Repitoire Committee. I hope this one gets performed! It's called "An Ever-Fixed Mark." Will keep you updates!
