Time (Altered) is the title of an ongoing suite of original compositions created on musescore.org. They can be accessed by searching for marilynstubbl (!not sure why my full last name is cut off…) The introduction includes timpani and violin sounds. Part 1 is called Lay of the Land. This recently finished piece began and ended smoothly enough. The midsection had seemingly endless rounds of unsatisfying resolutions until a resolve was chosen. Here’s a poem about the process.
DONE.
done. I found I revised I fixed I listened I changed I deleted I deleted I deleted I moved I listened I tried and I tried, cried, I felt I desired I changed switched I listened I cut switched I deleted I added I deleted I added I desired I found. I am moved. done.
While you’re listening…
