Every Second a Soul Passes On was inspired by the little jingle that I always heard at my Nan’s house as a child, which was played on her clock at the top of every hour. I wrote this piece in honour of her, with the idea in mind that death is a natural part of life. Although it may be sad, death is something that everyone must cope with at some point and we must live and be content with the fact that we move closer and closer to death as each second passes.
