This stylish corduroy baseball cap features embroidered text: “you are the god of your composition.”

This iconic line was advice Bea Witkin recalled receiving from composer Stefan Wolpe when she was composing her 1985 string quartet piece “Cantillations of the Bible.”

"You are the god of your composition, and you ordain what is going to happen, and you make up the rules for your piece...

You can write the piece based on three tones, you can write a piece based on a hundred tones, but make a decision."
