Hey Guys. This one took months for it to finally settle... As always, your impressions much appreciated.Thanks for listening. https://soundcloud.com/gregoriox88/fugue-labyrinth-revised
"Yes, Janacek - (at least I was geographically close :) - Kodaly and Bartok from Hungary - and from similar time frame).
I was just meaning a folkish quality from that region - though mixed with impressionism - . You do mention Faure :)
You might…"

"Hi David. My favorites are #6 and #8 - which I quite enjoyed. They seemed a bit impressionistic mixed with a folkish quality like Kodaly or even Bartok in some spots. Stylistically I felt they were more cohesive than #7 - where I felt the romantic…"
"A lovely piece. The melodic contours have a wistful yet bouyant quality - very attractive. The oboe (so 'vocal') works so effectively with the string quartet.

"Hi David. Thanks for lending your ear! (I didn't put 'fugue' in the title purposely, but forgot the link had that word:)
I appreciate your reflections - as they confirm my intention.
Thanks for your curiosity and giving 'Dear Sophie' a whirl! …"

"Hi Ivor. (I just wrote a long reply, but it got deleted)... Thank you for offering you thoughts on this! Coincidental that you are using the Venus archetype as well! With regard to the 'formulaic' - my approach is very open or expanded. Mostly, I…"
"Thanks, HS!
Your thoughts on this are interesting to me. Of course, as I was writing it - it seemed like I was bringing elements in that were not used in other fugues - which enhanced a certainly 'personality' - but it didn't hit you that way.…"

"Actually, although Ebony concerto highlights the clarinet, I was thinking of a passage from his Orpheus ballet, which I love.
If you haven't heard that one, I think you would like it - written in 1947."

"Wow! With the singer, now the full picture is revealed. Beautiful and intense! I was amazed with the singer's performance, her lovely expressive voice, so naturally navigating the complexities of rhythm (and entrances) and pitch. Did you work with…"
"Hi Brandon. This held me the whole way.. The piece unfolds quite naturally, almost in slow motion, deliberate and measured, in that unfolding.
Beautifully done, and captivating. I also enjoyed your splashes of extended harmony in the piano…"

"Hi Stephen. Very nice! Impressionistic - sort of. I like the slighly dark undercurrent. Only a minute - whets the appetite - definitely wanted to hear more. "
"These are great suggestions to chew on.
I was also thinking of fugue as a vessel, perhaps something akin to the 'flying dutchman' (ghost ship).. A timeless vessel by another name. If you guys have anything in that vein, Id love to hear.
But, as it…"

"Ah! Yes this is a great title! Thank you!"
"Hi Ray. The structure is incidental, and the words you offer are far more meaningful. Thank you for your sympathetic ear! I appreciate your willingness to listen multiple times. Thanks so much, Ray."
"Hi John. As I keep writing these fugues, the structure seems less and less obvious. This is #15 . There will be one more in the collection. 8 are more retro, and 8 -'modern'. Trying to think of a title for the collection. All I have so far is…"
