Three Sententiae for String Orchestra, Op. 354

This is my "Three Sententiae for String Orchestra, Op. 354", an opus the composition of which extended over almost two years. It is my 56th opus consisting of sententiae, out of 70 opuses so far (as of July 1, 2025) (68 sets and 2 solitary, for a total of 225 individual sententiae). The composition of this set having started almost two years ago, I have since composed 14 more sets of sententiae! It is my fourth set of sententiae for string orchestra. I hope that you enjoy it.

Here is the link to my previous set of sententiae for string orchestra:

Hi @luderart,

The texture in these 3 Sententiae reminds me very much of the parallel organum, and I like the serious mood in it. For me the time signature of the 1st one may be marked in a compound meter so that the triplets signs can be replaced? Thx for sharing!

Thank you Henry for your review and observations. Indeed a compound meter in the time signature of the 1^st sententia  would have been a good alternative time signature. I will keep that in mind in future works.
