This is a piece I wrote a long time ago.

Was originally for piano solo; but I rearranged it more recently for vocal chorus, with harp and drawbar organ.

Not sure it has any merit!

I don't have a proper score yet; but here's a very basic one from the original midi version of the piano piece.

Interesting piece! I enjoyed the spontaneous harmonies and chord progressions. As a choral work, however, it is completely unsingable.

Would you mind elaborating on how you chose your harmonic language here? I didn't really detect a pattern to the various chords, but I'm also not the best score analyzer, lol.

A colorful and enjoyable ride. Thanks for sharing!

It was probably just a product of my crazy hormonal teenage brain!

Would've also been influenced by the wide repertoire of classical piano works I was playing at the time.

This was just the first section of the piece.

The rest was based on Chopin's Revolutionary Study; but I never got round to digitising that part.

Guess I didn't really think about whether it could actually be performed by a choir.

I just thought it would sound spooky and atmospheric in a vocal arrangement.

Wow, I love the harmonies here. They're crazy and puts you on other world. But yes, I don' think this can be sung, either. The harp and the organ are good choices, but perhaps it would work or a string orchestra (instead of that chorus).

So glad you liked it!

Here's a basic rendition with strings replacing the chorus.
