Description	I have always wanted to try my hand at adapting a poem for musical use. My hero, Gerald Finzi, made it a point to use texts in a way that suited the work he was producing. So … I turned to one of his favorite writers, proto-Romantic and mystic poet, Thomas Traherne. Taking a text chocked full of religiosity and removing the faith to fundamentally change the nature of the poem. It has become a piece about the wonders around us and the joys one can take from being human. I tried to add a sense of mysticism and shining exuberance with a ton of CMajor9 chords thrown in to ignite the air.
