about

A really terrible engraving job on the sheet music by yours truly created a repeated note in the beginning motive that I ended up actually digging more than the original version.

The Meek continues the idea of bouncing between time signatures while trying to keep a sense of structure. Where Requiem was more about a constant pulse, I decided to play with elongated pauses to stretch the phrases.

The second section was during a time where I was really starting to love the idea of modes and modal mixture and just had fun with it. Still one of my favorite passages from the entire album!

I also really love not resolving these movements, if you haven't noticed.
