Nothing New

The other day Giselle made these mp3's for me. Thought I'd share...


Desk Lamps (#42)

Motive Composition No. 6 (#89)

O Lord, Hear My Prayer (#83)

ok, so I've already told you what I thought of these pieces, so now I have yet another question about "oh Lord.."

Can you give me the background on the inspiration for that piece again? I remember that you told me it is part of a catholic worship service re: the Divine Sacrement, right? I also know you said that the first 8 bars were the original piece and you used that as inspiration to create this piece. Did you mean the melodic line in the first 8 measures or was it actually a short little thing for harpsichord that you expanded into this orchestration?

thx.

It was a short little piece with no instrumentation noted. The first 8 bars are the original piece verbatim. When I heard it first, it was being played on guitar and sung by the worshippers.

Actually, somewhere in the archive you might be able to find the original dicussion on it. Let me go check...

thanks, Chris.

[edit: that was a pretty hearty discussion! I liked J. Lee's post...]
