Composer: Jonathan Shaw (b.1995)
Date: ~February 2013
"Quickly after "Chorus No.1", I wrote another. As I mentioned, each chorus would explore different compositional techniques. This one here explores polyphony and two choirs. The 'First Chorus' here I actually enjoy quite a lot; its opening chromatic progression works surprisingly well. It’s a shame though that the rest is still rather bland. Nevertheless, the lyrics are once more my own and I wrote this again at college during lunch hours. It is more of a ‘choir against soloists’ piece, more so than the previous "Chorus No.1"..."

What is this channel?
As a composer in the 21st century, I thought it might be interesting to catalogue and share on all of the projects I have undertaken, both for your own curiosity, but also for my own personal reflection on my development as a composer, and to some extent, a practitioner.
In short, this "C List" is the "Chronological List" for all of my major projects, including my own works, but also transcriptions and arrangements of other composer's works, educational tasks, and unfinished works that merit cataloguing.
For each of the works, I provide a reflection (a "reminiscence") about its context, how, and why I wrote it, as well as some analyses.
On some of these projects, I have recorded the entire compositional process itself, which again may offer some insight into compositional methods of 21st century music.
