I was listening to Bon Iver's "Woods" and Mahler's Second Symphony around the same time. Thought it might be neat to try one in the style of the other.

Auto-tuned Mahler 2

Track No. 5

Flowers of Note - III. Venus Flytrap

Flowers of Note - II. Lilac

Flowers of Note - I. Rose

A symphony for wind ensemble, based on some alpine imagery.

IV. Theodul

III. Gondola to Klein Matterhorn

I. Fanfare for the Northern Face

(The original audio turned out to be slightly corrupted, re-upload for correctness.)

II. View from Zermatt

Tender Ladies takes after the American folk song "Come All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies," which warns women of the heartbreak of unfaithful suitors.

This piece borrows stylistically from the music of Arvo Pärt, and in some places quotes the melodies of other American folk songs, which the listener is encouraged to seek out.

This piece features a formulaic element hidden in the inner melodic voices. In each statement of the melody, one inner voice harmonizes using only the notes of a single triad, and that triad moves up by one scale step with every repetition. The result is a mysterious, ancient-sounding chorale.
