lighght by Drew Owens published on 2015-04-24T02:17:27Z Lighght is a work composed for chamber choir. It is based off the minimalist poem of the same title by poet Aram Saroyan. The poem is a single word place in the middle of a white, blank page with the added letter pair –gh inserted into the word “light.” The added letters do nothing to changing the pronunciation of the word, but mean to signify the weightlessness and intangibility of light. In this, the composition means to evoke the same feeling using variable time intervals, an emphasis on music timbre and a single word text. Genre Choir
