This piece took awhile to post and I keep going back to change things about it but eventually you just have to settle on something cause I mean really what is the point to doing anything anyway.

Custer's Last Stand - Historical Vignettes of the 19th Century (2016)

A small collection of miniature fantasies on some of my favorite tunes, performed by Dr. Jihye Chang. 

Each adapted tune is in some shape or form musically significant to my early life, the first of which is "Old Kentucky Home", a melody I scatter around the first tune. With this first tune, I enjoyed extracting parts of the melody to serve as my subject, and then slowly emerging out of it into what I consider "chordal nonsense". 

The second tune is a through-composed lullaby for my now deceased cat, Callie. I consider myself a cat person and a composer and it would be very non-cat-person-like to not write a piece for your cat...or well, dead cat. With this particular melody, I just wanted to stretch it out and vary it until I see fit to force a conclusion. That's all.

And the third and final tune is a bit of a hybrid, composed out of the signature standard "St. Thomas" with added harmonies that might be found in a Chance the Rapper song (Sunday Candy, hence Saint Thomas on Sunday). These were both elements I liked as a younger lad, and that I wanted to combine without being too gauche. I don't know, I hope it worked?
