The midwestern American composer Carrie Jacobs-Bond's 1901 song "I Love You Truly" changed her life forever and became a much-loved song for over 120 years.
Anna Thorvaldsdottir begins her composing process by drawing shapes and writing words to help store musical information. Her scores themselves are finely detailed.
