For this assignment we created a short musical score on the Guitar to go along with "Hope" is a Thing With Feathers by Emily Dickinson. The poem compares hope to a bird. Emily does this by personifying the idea of hope and describing how it exists without effort. For example the lines, "Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me," show how you don't need to return anything to the world have hope. When creating our score we used these cords because we believed they worked well together and fit the calm feeling of the poem. As well as that, we slowed down the cords in post-editing to make it more interesting.
