upon the king (henry v)

This piece was adapted from a piano solo of mine, which I then cleverly named

Upon The King (piano solo).  After hearing the piano solo, a friend of mine asked

if I would expand upon it for her performance of a soliloquy from Shakespeare's

Henry V called "Upon The King".

This piece is an exploration of the voice as an instrument.  There are only three

tracks on this recording: one voice, one piano, and one synth bass.

The piece is long (5:06) because it was specifically timed to end when the text of the

soliloquy was done.  Listen to it when you're in an ethereal state of mind; or if not

then perhaps you will be in one when the piece is done.
