The Old Astronomer
Remember the Musical Hat Draw? Well, my setting of The Old Astronomer, text suggested by AlexSeanchai, has now sold. It was sponsored by Kathleen Jowitt and AlexSeanchai. I've set the first four stanzas to the same tune, and though I had intended this to be a piece for choir and piano or choir and ensemble, it didn't work out that way. It's quite folk-y, maybe a little jaunty for the subject...
