How do you respond to criticism regarding the "sameness" of your music? I am specifically referring to your choral works, which seem to be characterized by cluster chords - cluster chords everywhere. Not that I mean to discredit the beauty of your works, but it seems that much of your choral music very much occupies the same mood and feeling.

Hi Ms. Fleming!

First of all, it's amazing to see a name like yours on reddit-really cool.

My question is this: I'm a young bass-baritone, a junior at a Conservatory in the Midwest. Can you give me any ideas as to my best options post-undergraduate degree? I'm still not sure whether a year off is a good idea or not, or whether I should start looking into apprenticeships just yet. Any teachers, schools, programs, or anything else you can refer me to would be enormously beneficial.

Thank you so much for doing this!
