Abschiedslied

Another "bored during class" kind of piece. I think the set was (025) this time.
 

Ennui is rarely becoming for a composer.

Occasionally, on the contrary; lack of motivation lets you practice things you wouldn't normally. In this case, set writing.

Fair enough. I should have added - but practice is. If you don't mind me asking, are you in graduate school? Where?

I like it. Big development of a small set. The voice part is quite difficult, I think, because of the leaps, and low notes for a soprano.

I wonder why you use PC sets when you are getting bored.

To me, it happens the opposite. When I'm bored I write tonal music!!

Can't argue with that.

I'm not. Finishing up bachelors right now - I rushed through Music Theory and History degrees so I could get to what I'm actually interested in: semiotics. Wasn't really learning much. Starting a doctorate in theory as soon as possible.

Basically, whenever I get bored I practice writing with rules again. Tonal fugues, 12-tone music, spectral music, etc. Gotta practice it sometime if I'm going to have to teach it.
