Fuck, thanks. This has brilliant immediate insight… Let’s say the multimedia work this could serve background music to is indeed a rainy day seen through the window; or a pensive mood, which that may be an expressionist form to reflect! to have this expanded with more instruments is food for thought: I might attempt that though this was always meant very solitarily. For what it is, it’s basically; apart from possibly making an appearance in multimedia in the usual sense, an easy, imaginative and emotive piece; introspective though expansive, and having a message thus: I realized it could be analyzed this way later, but: this piece pivotally employs a very simple leitmotif-a descending minor 3rd (the 2 to 7 in the bass at the start of the piece)-as a representation of the “call of joy,” which then reappears (m.22 - flagged notes, although, there in parallel minor and a different meter; in the sense of a vague remembrance at first) as things are on the _verge_ of getting all too sad in the B section (and fairies invisible regard, touched with sympathy, non-intervening at first, then flock to hearten and remind). In that way it’s about remembering the call of joy, and that call may be from fairies-or if they prefer ‘faeries.’ Written on a happy afternoon while it was raining, predominantly, then I considered an emotional contrast for the second section. You’re all welcome to check out the album this is from on my channel too, it’s also worth a little swirl round the glass I think! - Shikhar
I love that use of the leitmotif in a modified way to create a memory kind of effect. I don't think I was going to get the "call of joy" concept but it makes perfect sense with your description and I think you did a great job crafting this mini-narrative within the track. As for the rain on a window -- yeah, that definitely works as a multimedia thing. I thought I had explained how the emotive writing tied into the title but after watching the video a second time it seems I omitted that for some reason. I probably got distracted by another topic and forgot to return to it. But you paint a beautiful sonic painting of the mixture of joy and sadness that rain can bring -- the life it gives to nature but also how it restricts outdoors activities, not to mention how many people associate gloom with heavy rain and dark clouds.
