  • Tabitha Hanson, oboe

    • Program Notes:

    Inspired by an E. E. Cummings poem of the same title, i shall imagine life reflects the complex breadth of experiences found within life. The piece was composed using a compositional system that used morse code to convert the text of the poem into the melodic material of the piece. The piece was designed to represent the language of the poem through this system, while painting the meaning of the poem through a complex and dynamic tone.
