Poly-Metric Study, part two: Requiem

A friend killed himself recently. Today was the funeral service. Being in the wrong end of the country, I couldn't attend; as a homage, I will dedicate this project to him.

I feel it might fit on several levels. The Schenkerian structure of it all might hint at a certain inevitability, and the ultimate inevitability is after all death. Then there's the aspect of taking what little information we have - in the case of the music, four bars - and twisting, turning, examining them from every angle possible, trying to make as much sense as possible.

Yes, it will be fitting.
