Final composition

After being supplied with text for my piece I found the writing process to run rather smoothly. The bulk of the piece was written within a 24 hour time frame and the music was derived by the text. The words that Dave chose for this poem were rather easy to colour musically. This definitely changed the music I had written for this piece previous to the text rather greatly. I definitely think that writing with a text can help fuel ideas for a piece of music and am even considering writing my next non vocal piece with it as an aid.
