"Chamber Music, "is an early work by James Joyce. It is a collection of poems dealing with the young author's feelings of loneliness, anticipation, and love. In this collection, Joyce uses descriptions of his natural environment to symbolize these bittersweet emotions. In my settings of these poems, I am letting these descriptions lead me in shaping the music. These pieces were written for the Palomar College Chamber Singers under the direction of Sally Dean.
