For the love of chorale, PLEASE try to listen to this with good headphones. It’s probably worth it. ⁣

Yeeaah it’s one of those popular TikTok songs. But I just couldn’t resist the ✨ drama ✨ of the Sarah Cothran version. ⁣
⁣
I’ve wanted to attempt to write thiiccccc juicy Eric Whitacre-style chorale harmonies for AGES… Crazy 11th and 13th chords everywhere. 5ths in the bass line for emphasis. SO MUCH DISSONANCE?!!?!? But whenever I’ve tried to arrange a whole song that way I get overwhelmed and don’t finish - taking just the climax of this song was perfect.⁣
⁣
So there’s the arranging challenge… Then how on earth do you mix the sound of 7 string parts, make each part audible, AND still make the solo part stand out above it??? … And then there was this Bo Burnham - “Inside” projector video lighting nonsense I wanted to try … I can never just keep it simple. I learned a lot of little things from this, though.
