I think the role of art is to project our sense of meaning into the universe, thus making our environment more legitimately meaningful. It (among many other things) is proving that an imagined sense of meaning is a real one. I also believe that creating something tangible that makes you feel something, and then showing it to others and it makes them feel something, is almost like emotional telepathy. It is a much more direct mode of emotional communication than anything else. As humans we know meaning when we see it, it's an instinctual spiritual yearning, it is a bittersweet feeling of something greater than yourself. It makes you cry, and you don't know why. That is why I love music, because it is much bigger than the person who wrote it.

Not for the judges. Just for the members voting.

It's a very introspective work, just like the title suggests. I'm not a clarinetist so I can't comment on the technical stuff, but it sounds playable. It would be beneficial to include the score. Overall, great job!

Well. If a clarinet could speak a language, this would be it. I felt like I just came from a four-minute clarinettish diatribe against how the oboe always gets the spotlight. Fine job, sir. Birdsong-like in its melody, it absolutely explores the limits of this charming instrument. Thanks for sharing! I hope you're able to get it performed.

Ok maybe I was too harsh but for my taste I'm not big on a lot of big name modern composers I think often they're praised on concepts or being influential in academic circles rather than the merit of their own music.
