Lately, I've been thinking and imagining how Ancient Greece was reinterpreted in Impressionism. And well, all of that inspired me to write something.
The dawn is that moment before sunrise when there is already light.

For a brief explanation of what resources I use:

Hi Luis,

I've become very interested in music from Antiquity, like the Seikilos Epitaph, and Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal. 

I like the effort you've gone to here with retuning your scale.

Octave species used in ancient music seems to be a very rich subject I've yet to fully understand!

I sometimes wish film composers would employ the techniques you've used here, so they can create a more authentic musical language to reflect the ancient world.
