Kat's Casting - "Will I graduate from University?"

I have written another piece for my friend Kat's Casting!  This time Kat asked the Muzoracle if she will graduate from a 4-year university.  (Muzoracle is a storytelling/divination tool similar to the Tarot card deck, but with cards with musical concepts and 12-sided Musician's dice and Solfege dice.)

My interpretation of the cards and dice are displayed below.  Since the first card drawn was a Conductor of Percussion card, I chose to use Piano, an instrument that Kat likes.  The second card drawn was a Major 7th of Woodwinds, so I chose Clarinet, an instrument that Kat used to play.  And finally the third card drawn was an Octave of Voices card, so I chose a solo Soprano singer.  If you'd like to find out more about Muzoracle and how castings are interpreted go here:  https://muzoracle.net/

This short musical interpretation of Kat's Casting is about a minute and a half long.  Since the black 12-sided Musician's Die landed on F, the piece is in the key of F major.  I created the following melodic/harmonic underdrawing guided by the cards and dice.  The first solfege die landed on Ti and the card indicated a percussion instrument - in this case, Piano.  So I had the Piano start solo on an E (in the left hand).  Then I had the Clarinet and Soprano enter on an anacrusis into a melody that uses E, Db, C, and B.  Since the interval of a Minor 2nd is prominent in the casting, I decided to transpose the whole melodic/harmonic underdrawing down a Minor 2nd giving me access to tones needed to create a V7 of F.  I then used that dominant to bring the piece into F major and repeat the melodies and harmonies at the pitch level of F before repeating the piece and ending on an F7 #11 chord.  I also liberally used accelerandi and ritardandi, guided by the accelerando/ritardando card in the 1st position.

If you've gotten this far, thanks for reading!  And I hope you enjoy listening to this short chamber work I wrote to represent Kat's Casting.  Comments, critiques, suggestions, or observations are of course, always welcome.  Thanks for listening!
