Overture to a Hunt

[gregorio X]

This is a type of fusion of styles and harmonic language.. kind of an angular  'epic' at the beginning.. (in 5/4) , then to a bit jazzy, with a Scarlatti-like tendency for the chorus… near the end, employing a foreshortening  of dueling solos, as one sometimes hears in Indian music...

The instrumentation: E. Violin, E. Guitar, A. Guitar, Drums/Perc., Acoustic Bass, Piano, Didgeridoo 

(the 2nd part of the piece, is one i posted earlier under the thread 'happiest music' though  it was not finished)

All comments are welcome and appreciated!

Thank you for listening.

Hey Mr. X, 1st impression.... not bad, bouncy with a definite

multi-cultural flair. I like the blend of instruments.

But just what are you hunting for.... a dance partner?   lol      RS

Thank you Roger,

Dance partner? Yes, always!:)

The opening brings to my mind the moment just before 'chase'.. When the drums come in, i think, "And , off they go!'

The bowed bass reminds me of a growling lion..:)

Thanks for listening!

sort of a combination of a mysterious atmosphere and action, then it cheers up, it's very nice.
