Song Cycle UF Preview “The Nature of Man”
The UF Preview for a song cycle I’m writing called “The Nature of Man.” It uses Alexander Pope’s poem “An Essay on Man” as the text. The two songs presented here are the “Prelude,” where Pope gives his thesis statement, and “One Truth,” where pope gives his closing statement for Epistle 1. I plan to premier the complete song cycle in the spring or fall semesters of 2025. I currently have no plan to set the other Epistles to music, but who knows what’ll happen.

This one I was assigned to write in an asymetrical meter.

Wow 🤩 Excellent pianist and soloist! 🎹🎤🎹🎤🎹
Overall too low in my opinion. It's okay to utilize the flute's lowest register on occasion, but the flute thrives above the staff. Try adding more high-range material in the future. The flute can play up to a C7 if not even higher depending on the player.
Well done! A delight for my ears!
👌👌👌
pretty nice! love the eerie feeling! although, the contrabass has some unplayable notes, as it only goes up to E1. keep up the great work!
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the piece! Although the contrabass is not unplayable. While most basses in the Americas and many parts of Europe only go down to E1, it’s very easy to find basses that have an extension for their lowest string, allowing them to perform a C1. Rarer still, some German made basses have 5 strings, allowing the performance of a B0! While there are some borderline impossible gestures in the piece, (the glissando in the 1st violin that would have to cross strings, and the very crunchy double-stops in the 2nd violin), the bass part is not. Again, I’m glad you enjoyed the piece, and I hope you’re enjoying your day/evening. God bless.
I enjoyed it! 👍
I enjoyed it! 👍
