from Aditya, 4-594-27:

That thou mays’t know mee and I’ll turne my face.

That’s the last line of John Donne’s “Goodfriday, 1603: Riding Westward.”

24 hour challenge #5, “I’ll Turne My Face,” for Aditya: score [pdf], performance [mp3], bassoon [mp3]

This one’s not very interesting, just a ripoff of late English Renaissance music, and very much a fragment of that. Competent, and for me, that’s doing good, but not inspired. Sorry, Adi: send me another challenge and maybe we’ll get lucky next time.
