Love Song (the third part)

Hello

This is the third part of the orchestral suite, although I am not at all sure it is a suite, but rather single works. I'll have to listen to them in one go to see if they add up for me.

In fact in this last part there are some things that are more advanced in stylistic time.

It consists of the following parts:

A1 Theme in Gm
B1 Chromatic sequence from Gm to Amaj
A2 Theme in Dm
C1 and C2 Intermediate part polyrhythmic!
B2 Chromatic Sequence from Fm to Gmaj
D1 and D2 Final Adagietto in G - ending in Emaj

The chromatic sequences are inspired by romanticism (Chopin used them a lot).
The polyrhythmic part took me a while to get it right in the editor, but when something gets stuck in my head... It sounds quite impressionistic, to me.

Anyway, if it makes someone spend a few pleasant minutes, that's fine.

I didn't want to make something long, or repeat the same parts, which I don't like at all.
 

As I listened to the whole track with my eyes closed, which indeed does have a strong sense of romance, Hollywood romantic movies of the 60's came to my mind and also more modern French romantic movies. You surely have captured the feeling of romance. Nice work 👍

This certainly starts like a love song, but the picture of you in the video makes me think it's tragic or unrequited.  The music also has a tragic flavor to it except for that long string of sequences at B1 and B2 which sound quite hopeful.  Although I'd usually stop a repeating sequence at 3, maybe 4 repetitions.  But you have 5 which seems a little excessive.  The polyrhythmic section at C1 is interesting, but how do you expect the players to count that and get it together?  It seems like maybe it would have been more logical to set the meters at 7/8 and 5/4 with the way it's written.  Then, if the conductor conducts 7/8 all the players would have to learn is the 5 against 7 polyrhythm which is something that is teachable.   I think the 7/8 section is quite lovely and reminds me of John Williams' "Minority Report" score.  But the 12/8 section doesn't really fit the vibe of being a love song imo.  Starting at measure 40 it starts sounding more like an exercise.  Those are my thoughts.  Thanks for sharing this delicate piece!

Thank you for your comments.
Regarding the repetition of sequences, I know that the usual is to stay in 3 or 4...., maybe that's why I continued. Why not? Somehow, it is a vehicle to get somewhere.
The polyrhythmic part, yes, surely it is more legible for the ensemble of an orchestra as you say, but well, since I am not a professional composer nor do I pretend this will ever be played, what I was interested in was to explore polyrhythm in a descriptive (for me) way. Well, it's obvious that everyone has their own points of view. 
Regarding the 12/8 section I totally agree with you and I think it is a pastiche. Those were other times and now I wouldn't do it like that. But it is always very difficult for me to go over things and change them, I prefer to write again.

Regards.
