Wind

Wind explores the idea of wind as a sentient presence, through both lyric and harmony. It is scored for SATB Voices a cappella, with three-part soprano, alto, and tenor splits, and a two-part bass split.

The original concept of Wind was created in a coffee shop, on a really, really rainy day. I remember looking out the windows and finding a sense of wonder within the stormy atmosphere unfolding before me. Inspired, I wrote down a few expanding-contracting-type chord progressions and a few lines of descriptive poetry to capture the moment. Those notes and words would later become the basis of Wind.
