More Love to Thee
Clarinda arranged the hymn "More Love to Thee" into four variations. The first paragraph is from the original. And then the first variation featured descending scales. The second variations uses the 16th notes to add the color in the rhythm. The third variation is in a Jazz style. The last variation sounds fanfare and broad. Clarinda tried to use different styles to describe the hymn "More Love to Thee."
In the Valley
Clarinda used MAX/MSP to generate this electronic music. All the sounds were made from the scratch from MAX/MSP. Clarinda also did the mixing using the Ableton Live.
A False Note
Program note
An old painting on canvas titled “A False Note” by Charles E. Proctor was finished in 1895, a period of Romanticism. From my perspective, in the paint there are 5 old musicians: a flutist, a trumpet player, a violinist, a cellist, and a possible conductor, arguing over a wrong note played by the trumpet player, who, however, insists he is right.
The music starts with a happy and relaxed gesture denoting the old musicians greeting each other. From rehearsal B, they start to rehearse a Romantic-style piece. However, they encounter a problematic note in rehearsal C. The trumpet player stubbornly insists one note is F, whereas the others insist that note should be E♭. They start to argue. Then the trumpet player finds a solution: using a note in between – E nature. Everybody is satisfied with the compromise whether or not it sounds right or wrong. They resume their original peace and resume their happy and relaxed gesture at the end.

Wind Blow
Clarinda used the sound of flute and the piano to describe wind sounds in the fall and winter.
