about

I'd been wanting to set some of Spence's poetry to music for a while, so when he posted Sestet and Sestet II, I figured they were pretty much perfect for a song.

I wanted to use both poems, but I was having trouble coming up with an interesting way to combine them. Luckily, a coworker (thanks, Maciej!) happened to tell me about a song he had written that had two melody lines and used a reprise to combine them. I thought that sounded like the coolest thing ever, and two melody lines is an easy fit for two poems, so that's what I did.
