Difficulty: Advanced (Grade 8+)
Length:
The title of this work, (i carry it in my heart), comes from a poem by e.e. cummings. The poem begins:
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)
For those who have experienced the early days of parenthood, they come with a brutal combination of unrelenting monotony and overwhelming love. This work captures those conflicting emotions.
Please note: This work has an optional static track. If chosen, static can be generated as the performer chooses -e.g. tape track, AM radio, or another means entirely. I have, in the past, used surface transducers on snare drum to create this sound to great effect. If preferred, the static can be removed and replaced with silence.
