"Yet another chorale in the style of Bach, still written while I was at college. This one again uses the techniques of chorale that we were studying, perhaps more so than my previous chorale. It also adopts the strophe format I used just before in "C.36". Nevertheless, the lyrics are once more my own, as cheesy as they can get might I add! I do hope, though, that it is musically at least more acceptable by adhering closer to the principles of chorale writing (complete with 'tierce de Picardi'!), but of course, I don’t expect it to be entirely satisfactory.

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.
