August 23, 20232 yr The beginning is very delicate and harmonious. Perhaps it insists too long on the chord. Although the idea I see is to keep adding layers.
August 25, 20232 yr Hello @Jack Raudys Music, Welcome to the forum! The beginning glockenspiel is quite magical. I agree with Luis that the harmony insists on Ab major for too long, even though it's compensated by different timbre from different instruments. 1:47 is the first time to have a V chord! That makes the piece less moving forward, especially harmonically. There's a modulation to Bb major in 2:42, but the harmonic language is also uniform. The use of orchestral color however is beautiful and varied. Thx for sharing and joining! Henry
