Best described as a slow tango, this passionate composition shows off all of Yukiko Nishimura's skills as a composer. Evocative and heartfelt, Orange Moon’s harmonies are dense and fresh, fresh, flush with the romantic nature of the piece. What an incredible addition to the more advanced ensemble’s repertoire.
When I wrote this piece I imagined slow Tango music in my mind, with an image of a man and a woman dancing under the moon. The main melody is waltz-like, with a strong and straight feeling best described as risoluto. At the middle section, beginning in m. 50, the music incorporates more of a double-time feel, rather than a waltz. Explore the feeling and compare both double and triple time in one piece.
