Revelations in Ancient Tombs
Revelations in Ancient Tombs: what happens when you apply “chroma”, Gesualdo-style, on a romanesca?
Prelude to a Foreboding
Prelude to a Foreboding: The static use of the arpeggio motive creates tension; “trailer music” vibes.
Autumn Moon Dance
Autumn Moon Dance: This dance-like motive unfolds in a so-called minor-variant romanesca.

Fireflies Circling in the Rain
Fireflies Circling in the Rain: The flourishing motif changes along with the underlying modes or scales.
Chilly Nights, Quiet Winds
Chilly Nights, Quiet Winds: a meandering motive searchs out and seeks, perhaps for a warmer breeze.
