Notes

I wanted to write a duet for my friends Ellen and Aubrey to sing. We were very close friends in college, having had most of our classes together. I wrote this mostly in my head, and I didn't have any staff paper in my dorm room for some reason, so I tried my best to remember it all when I got to the computer lab in the music building so I could notate it all.
