Choral

Sonnet 22 (1976). Yes, I wrote it when I was 18 and the text is Elizabeth Barrett Browning. This is not a movie, but it does represent the all the choral music I've ever written. I've added mucho reverb because that seems to be the thing that kids do nowadays; and you can tell the 18-year-old author really liked Hindemith's Six Chansons. It's the Brandeis U Chamber Singers conducted by Jim Olesen, in the spring of 2008.
