While looking through my computer filled with all my projects, I ran across the beginning of my attempt to set the epic poem "Goblin Market" to music. (Wikipedia is your friend: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goblin_Market ) It was two minutes long. I don't know why I quit working on it, but I did back in 2012 for some reason. I am hoping to make this at least fifteen minutes long. I just finished the first page worth of lyrics, about 6 pages' worth of sheet music. The poem is 7 pages long in Word with two columns, so it's a pretty long poem. I just thought it would be a good idea to set it to music and make a long song out of it. Looking at the Wikipedia article, it looks as though this has already been done, but I'm always up for music composing. I composed a little tune for level 5 of the celery game for the Atari 2600.
