Hello! This is my first post here and I wanted to share a piece of music that I finished last year.
The "A Cradle Song" work is a collection of pieces using the popular poem "A Cradle Song," by William Blake. This setting of the first stanza is the prologue to the entire journey through the poem. I wanted to capture a sense of a sweet and wondrous in the beginning that introduces theme of the work. I also wanted to simulate the feeling of a warm hug--almost as though one can feel the cradle of a baby in their caregiver's arms. The warmth becomes a beam of joy and curiosity as the voices reach up to starts like moony beams. However, where we arrive still leaves a question at the end for what lies ahead. As this is the prologue, it is the shortest piece of the bunch. With all that said, I wish you a wonderful listening experience and any feedback is appreciated.
