This is a piece that was composed out of a barrage of ideas that I was coming up with that could be a minute long or a little longer. I was looking for sounds that I thought evoked stress, since I have been having a ton of stress lately.
This has a bunch of fun dynamic changes, some of which are sudden. This has a ton of dissonant harmonies that portray the sheer depth of stress I've been going through.
Here is this piece. Have this one on a recital or performance. Unleash your inner fury!

Best loved hymns and spirituals transformed Arranger’s description The songs in this collection represent some of the best-loved hymns and spirituals in America. Their durability is intriguing. Generations of handing down new renditions have reduced them to their essential qualities. This ‘essence’ offers a composer and musician plenty of room for interpretation and improvisation. Memorable melodies such as these make great material for variations since the listener, knowing the tune so well, can appreciate its changing directions. I also find new vitality by underpinning old songs with modern rhythmic textures: what jazz musicians call the groove. Shorter songs call for original but stylistically similar additional sections. The addition of blue notes, favorite licks, alternative harmonies and improvisations helps me reinterpret this familiar music into nearly original compositions. Having sought to make them my own, I now invite you to do the same. Publisher's description In his unique, rhythmic style, Sowash transforms some of the best-loved hymns and spiritual songs of all time into nearly original selections for solo jazz piano. Chord symbols are included to encourage improvisation and ensemble arrangements. - Augsburg Fortress.

The old Welsh folksong, The Ashgrove, has a lovely tune, and is often used as a hymn tune. It is often sung as Let All Things Now Living, using words by Katherine Davis, and is very appropriate for Thanksgiving. This arrangement, entirely in the key of G, has a repetitive left hand accompaniment for the first verse. The second verse uses a contrasting setting, which then goes back to the original left hand pattern at the end.
