Title: The Widow and the Artist
Post by: Billy on August 24, 2012, 05:49:13 AM

Just an instrumental I'm afraid. Melodies and counter melodies abound in this composition.

Set in the Edwardian era, Rebecca is made a widow due to her husband dying in battle in some far flung corner of the empire. She finds it increasingly hard to make ends meet and decides to take in a lodger in the form of Claude, a Frenchman who is a struggling artist. They eventually fall in love and embark on a passionate affair (of course they do).

The Widow and the Artist

Composition by Billy Playle

Thanks for listening

Very nice, Billy. Definitely has a film score feel to it .. or as an interlude piece. Particularly liked the flute feathering in and out. Great job mate!

Mick.

I can't resist listening to a piece of music that has such an interesting title.  Well done Billy, there is certainly a lot happening here.  I think you are a romantic at heart :).

Wonderful, Billy - at first I was wating for vocals, but after a minute or two I did not miss it at all. Very nicely woven folk/new age style, right up my alley.

Regards,

Hi Billy:

I've been meaning to take a listen to this but wanted to ensure there were going to be no interuptions whilst I closed my eyes and absorbed every delightful morsel of sound.

It is wonderful, I can see the picture clear as day, just lovely.

How beautiful this is. I love musical stories.  :)  Gorgeous melody weaving its way throughout, and the flute is so delicate.
