… and typed the song up into Finale. Not many changes to make actually – I think it’s going to stay sketchy. I put in an extra note, changed the timing of another one, but otherwise I think the accompaniment’s going to stay quite sparse. It’s a song that’s all about tone and touch, really. Quiet and precise – the sort that people look at on paper and say “oh, that’s easy” but may be actually quite tricky to grasp exactly the right feel for, even if the notes aren’t hard. Still really pleased with it. I think the whole set’s going to be for alto – tenor wasn’t quite fitting it, but I suspect I’m going to have to work on an alternate section in the first song somewhere – the range is just too wide to be reasonable.
