Ascent of the Blessed (Original Composition)

"This recording was made by the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra in a workshop recording session."

"Ascent of the Blessed" Op. 5 No. 1 by Stephen Clothier (15)
Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra
Tecwyn Evans

..And it isn't too bad for a bit of orchestral sight-reading! I wrote this piece for the Trusts Secondary Schools Composers Competition 2009. Obviously the adjudicators thought it wasn't too bad, because I won it! The theme for the competition this year was "inspired by art". The artwork which inspired ME was "Ascent of the Blessed", part of a polyptych by Heironymous Bosch.

Feedback on my composition is very welcome! Praise it, beat it down into the dirt. Eh. It's all helpful.

Uh...Stephen...where are you?

Though I am very generous with my time when it comes to young composers, it is nonetheless quite limited and something that I value highly. I'd really appreciate it if you would let me know what is up this weekend. Check your messages for my cell # and get back to me.

True that, Stephen. I don't know what I'm talking about; I just wanted to comment.

@violavonschnitzel I watched the whole 8 minutes 41 seconds of it.

Why thank-you Alysse.

I never knew you were into this kinda stuff!
