Somewhere Over The Painbow (It's So Hard)

(Harmonic) Theme and Variations

Harking back to last MoM's 'Theme and Scariations' a little more than first intended. Every time I write something in 3 it ends up being perfect haunted merry-go-round music. Branching out of the harmonic comfort zone a bit which has been rewarding. Lusting after some of the harmony in Tabakova's 'Suite in the Old Style.'

Nicotine

More weird cabaret/ yet (pronounce the et in yet like cabaret)

Ugh. Love and death. Shocked? Haven’t you figured out yet that that’s what this is all about? Cigarettes, alcohol, more… Margery taught me to smoke. She taught me the rush, as it rushed, the silky smooth, the heat, the rush… she taught me more than that. If love is a toxin, it might be nicotine. It takes root inside you and hungers for itself, and to satisfy that hunger… well, we’ve all seen the commercials. But we do it anyway. But sometimes, a cigarette is just a cigarette.
Margery wore a suit, long after the days when a woman in a suit meant vaudeville. She wore them unironically, seriously - for she knew that a suit on a man looks smart, and she knew that she was as smart as any man, if not smarter.

weird dirge(slow death)

I set a timer and wrote this whole thing in twenty minutes
I love prolation canons

instruments with a hard attack manage to sound not awful on sibelius?
