I've always enjoyed performing and reading pieces with shifts in time... but I always find it very hard to do so when I am writing my own music...I tried it for a time in my string quartet, and in a few select places in some of my solo songs.

There are actually no accidentals in this piece... it was written for a beginning women's choir headed by a friend of mine. They wanted something a cappella, but approachable and challenging at the same time. It was my attempt to capture something very simply. -

My piano writing is terrible at best. I apologize for that. I basically just wrote down what I heard in my head when I was composing...I'm working on improving my score writing... Thanks for the positive words. -
