Spirits of the Dead: Mvts I & II

0:00

I wrote the first two movements to "Spirits of the Dead" during my undergraduate studies. The remaining three movements remain an ongoing project. This work is for piano, clarinet, string quartet, tenor voice, and soprano voice. The text is taken from Edgar Allan Poe's five stanza poem of the same name. The PDF and Midi recording for the first movement are attached here.
