thanks Lee! Ars Nova is a style which i really love and for sure it is a major influence on my work.

as this piece it was originally intended for the organ. the piano version is just for clearer understanding of the writting, and it gives a wrong idea about the piece as it lacks the nice mess of sound which "my" organ can create and that is important part of the final effect. so the octaves are there for adding brilliance and richness and a sensation of fullness and power.
