They Gave Me Gall To Eat | Stations of the Cross: Station 10
/
This short composition is intended to serve as a small piece in a larger framework. It is to serve as an extension of what already has been experienced, but also to create a sense of continuation. As such, this is not a stand-alone musical composition, but rather a moment of reflection. The music feels, intentionally, unresolved. The unsettling text is emphasized by word painting, as well as harmonic ambiguity, and avoidance of the tonic at the conclusion.
