"I really, really don't like this." - My mom

Arbitrary Counterpoint

Mir ist Kalt

String Quartet in C Major, Op. 10 "The Shepherd" - II. Adagio espressivo

"Nadoligau" means "Christmases" in Welsh, which may seem irrelevant (if you aren't a brilliant music scholar like me), but I promise "Christmases" is the perfect name for this piece. You'll just have to trust me. If you ask me why "Christmases" is the perfect title, I might tell you, but I won't tell you why I chose the Welsh translation, mainly because I don't actually know why I went with Welsh.

"Nhragwyddoldeb" means "eternity" in Welsh, I think. I wanted a title that would show there's more to me than just my artistic brilliance. A title like "Eternity" would be enough to express my deep, introspective nature, but saying it in Welsh achieves that and captures my sophisticated, culturally aware side. Plus, using the Welsh title minimizes the potential for the inevitable "'Eternity?' Is that the title or the track length? lol" joke that my critics who don't understand pacing would use to start their Rolling Stone articles. [This is the new final version of the piece.]
