A few weeks ago I had created a timeline which outlined my plan for finishing Dream Cycle. I had planned on being done with the draft of Mutability by last week. Well, yesterday was the first day in which I have composed since I created that timeline. So basically I can throw it out the window.
With all that said I did have a productive composing session yesterday. I spent sometime developing the accompaniment for the second stanza. Basically, I sat at the keyboard and played around with the initial material that I had. I tried to steer myself away from the repetitive nature of the accompaniment of the first stanza. I will be using repetition on some level because the accompaniment needs to be fluid from stanza to stanza. This will create a more cohesive sound instead of sounding like four different pieces (one for each stanza).
Right now I have eight measures sketched out. I do not think that this sketch I created last night will be the "final" version. I will need to spend more time fleshing out the material. Some of the motives and thematic ideas could be explored a little bit more. This could possibly provide more material for development in later stanzas. After I work on this a little more, I will begin working on the vocal sketch.
