In a conducting class one day, we sang through a choral setting of a
setting of Christina Rossetti's Remember, filled with beautiful, lush
harmonies throughout. The lesson of the day was that this was a
"bad" setting, ignoring the meaning of the text. I then sought to
produce a more faithful setting that explores the themes of pain and loss
expressed, keeping in mind Rossetti's struggle with depression. While I end
the piece with an uplifting tone, the journey to get there explores a wide
range of emotions expressed by subtle shifts of harmony, dynamics, and tempo.
This piece was a finalist in the 2015 Ithaca Choral Composition Contest,
performed by Anthony Maiese and the East Lyme High School chorus.
