Spellbound
Available in both Mixed and Treble Choir arrangments, "Spellbound" is a poignant setting of an Emily Brontë poem about feeling bound; and yet, she cannot go. The wind and the trees billow around her, and yet she remains immobile. In this setting I have chosen to portray this immobility as a reflection on the author's struggle with depression. This piece uses aleatory and “wind” noises in order to reinforce the imagery of the world moving, while we stand still. These wind noises bookend this piece, symbolizing the speaker's continued immobility. You'll also hear whispers of, “and I will not, cannot go” something that the speaker hears from not only the wind, but herself. “But nothing drear can move me; I will not, cannot go.”
