Fugax Contrapunctus Posted Friday at 03:45 AM Posted Friday at 03:45 AM (edited) Unable to sleep once again, this early morning I have managed to compose a Late Romantic-style overture for string orchestra. This piece's overall character stems from the metaphor of a harsh storm passing, as hinted by the German title shown in the score: Der abflauende Sturm. Albeit short, compared to my usual standards it is both quite emotional and reflective simultaneously as I tried to pour my feelings on the current state of affairs in my life into music, and I must say, in terms of either harmonic variety and dynamic expression, I think it turned out better than I could have ever imagined, especially considering the fact this work and its idiosyncrasies are pretty far removed from my usual compositional style. Enjoy!

That's certainly an interesting assertion comming from someone who would otherwise call true masterpieces such as Henry's String Sextet "static" or lacking in "originality", "style", and "uniqueness" though, so taking your word on how compelling the quality of this humble work of mine may be might as well be a fool's arrend, to be sure. Also, I'm not entirely sure why you would feel the necessity to make a wholesale montage of the score's first page, but props for the editing skills I suppose. 1 Quote
