Dad3353 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 [sharedmedia=core:attachments:174869][size=4] Good evening, all...[/size] I have decided to promote, each in turn, the compositions presented in the monthly BC Composition Challenge. I shall give my own, personal, view of the piece, in the hope that at least some will be inspired to give the work a listen, and perhaps a vote as their favourite. All the pieces can be heard here...

A lone piano strikes up a slow melody; the whistling mounts and abates whilst the beat continues unperturbed. The piano repeats, joined by a cello playing its own close counter melody, and more agonising groans. The ambiance shifts slightly, despite the continued steam shuffle, as creaking provokes more complaints. The whistling comes and goes, as does the agonising. The melody comes back, this time played by a brass ensemble. The groaning and creaking persist as the brass comes to resolution, and fade slowly away accompanied by the omnipresent rhythm. There is suffering expressed, largely ignored by the surrounding continium of activity. Some helplessness, an attempt to move, with little result. An un-caring world follows its own course with little or no regard for the vain struggle to survive of the Colossus. Its moment of glory passed, no-one will spare a moment to help an aging automaton.
