Again (2021)
SATB w/ solos 3'
Again imitates the experience of insomnia. The nagging ostinati, repeated harmonic progression, and frustrated arrival at the words “Not Again” demonstrate the cyclical affliction of lying still, unable to calm the mind.
- Sam Scheibe
Again is a wordless (well, almost wordless...) depiction of insomnia and the problems therein - it is a colorful realisation of the power that voices hold even without narrative devices or text itself.
- Phillip A Cooke
