clouds

The musical idea for Clouds arose from a first general then systematic observation of a source image. Initially I wanted to evoke a more floating and light atmosphere, just like the clouds depicted in the image, in a kind of introduction before the arrival at the village. I therefore opted, for this first part of the piece, for a harmony without a clear tonal center. Next, I imagined the knight's welcome to the village, read in a friendly and somewhat playful key, given the cartoony character of the drawing.
