Eastern-style song for piano...
Another one of my short tunes - I can never seem to write a song which lasts more than about 2 minutes. Having said that, this one seems to be a bit more complex than what I usually come up with.
It is based on some music I have heard by a pair of obscure composers of piano music named G.I. Gurdjieff and Thomas de Hartmann. They write sort of "spiritual" music based on a traditional "ancient" styles of a few different cultures. It's pretty simplistic stuff, but doesn't always use traditional classical conventions.
This tune is a bit stop-start and a bit all over the place. Lots of 5ths in the harmony but that was deliberate.
Any comments appreciated.
