Today I added a project I’ve been meaning to work on for years. A half-minute piece, which is a warped version of Bach’s “Sicut Locutus Est” that I heard in a nightmare once.
Retroactive edit: The music page was originally a separate feed – I’ve merged in the original companion post for “The Nightmare” below.
First off- I don’t consider this a musical composition at all, more of a musical experiment, but not quite an arrangement.
I had the strangest nightmare in my Freshman year.
At the time, one of my biggest concerns was making it into All-County Choir, and so, obviously it was on my mind.
But it wasn’t the happy Bach Chorale in my dream.
I was wandering through a strange school that I did not know. This school was, believe it or not, split in half by a river. However this portion of the school was sealed in glass as well.
But I was wandering through this strange school, and I heard this…horrific warping of Bach’s Sicut Locutus around me. The teachers in this school were all monsters, and were all lunging at me.
Try to imagine this just for a moment, as you listen to my nightmare.
In addition, I really hope, with my new mic, to revisit “Ver Frigidus,” for a variety of reasons.
First of all, it just doesn’t catch the tone I was aiming for with the piece. It just doesn’t sound right! It’s too rhythmic and not flowing like I wrote it. Plus, I have a new mic now, so that should help, and also, I found my original score for the piece! 😀 Finally. I had forgotten that I had originally called the piece “Sixteenth’s End,” to signify my fear of turning 17 at the time. I don’t know. Point is, I really would like to revisit that one sometime soon.
Anyone see the Brawl leaks? They are TEH WIN!
