Finale Work June 17

Today I spent a lot of my time creating musical ideas to use with the synthesized instruments we will create later in the course. First I began by composing a piece entirely of my own, accompanied by piano (perhaps eventually guitar), and notating that in Finale. Then I thought it would be interesting to use one of Dr. Burg's poems, Day, to create a choral setting that could be used in tandem with synthesized accompaniment. I figured the music students and I could sing each part (I'm hoping to compose an SATB version, but this could easily be altered into a SSAA version), and we could overlap them to create the necessary harmonies. This would be a very cohesive project, incorporating a lot of different musical ideas and lyrical concepts.
