"By The Campfire" is a choral composition that captures the essence of a cherished pastime - sitting around a campfire with friends and family. Camping is one of my favourite things to do, and I wanted to convey the warmth and camaraderie that comes with it in this piece.

This piece has a bittersweet feeling as it acknowledges the short-lived nature of such experiences. All good things must come to an end, and so too must the time spent gathered around a campfire. However, the memories created during those moments stay with us forever.

The main inspiration for this work is "The Seal Lullaby" by Eric Whitacre. Like his piece, "By The Campfire" seeks to evoke a sense of calm and reflection in the listener.

As you listen to this piece, I encourage you to reminisce about those special moments spent sitting around a campfire. Think about the stories shared, the laughter, and the bonds forged. May the music stir up fond memories and inspire you to create new ones.
