"Noah Visits" from The Village soundtrack

COME TO THE FLUTE MASTERCLASS TOMORROW AT 11am. Be there, or be square.

Besides that, I thought I'd share with everyone a cool title theme to an interesting movie. I've always been drawn to the haunting quality of the solo violin. Very appropriate for a "scary movie." But it also has this longing sound to it. I particularly like how the solo violin changes into a fast rhythmic arpeggiation of the melody, while the rest of the symphony builds with intensity until the sudden ending. Periods are pretty distinct, but the orchestra does a good job of hiding cadences as they meld together phrase to phrase. One can notice the simple scalar patterns of the accompanimen which often mimic the soloist. Although the melody is often in the hands of the solo violin, the orchestra somtimes steals the spotlight, developing the theme in a more slow rhythmic fashion. In the second part of the title soundtrack, the Horn cries out amidst the theme. As the movie progresses, so does the music, the themes coinciding with what is happining to the characters.
This is a piece that is very hard to describe with words. It is so simple, yet so beatiful. It's the kind of music that one simply closes his or her eyes and relaxes into the sound.
