Description
A Druid’s Journal contains five compositions totaling just under 8 minutes of music. The genre is celtic folk. I first sketched the main thematic material using pencil/paper, then used Finale to create condensed sketch-scores (melody, harmony/texture, percussion). I produced the music in Reaper, using Musio for all virtual instruments. Specific orchestration decisions were made once I was working in Reaper, based on the loose sketch-scores created in Finale.
I used the text theme, “Songs of a Forgotten World,” and some of the significant elements (the lute, the fiddle, nature, and mythical beings) of the image theme as suggestive direction.
Exploring the countryside, a young boy finds a long-abandoned building. Inside he finds a dusty, leatherbound journal dated centuries before, along with a small flute. The journal depicts several melodies claiming to summon the fey spirits of the land. Intrigued, the boy plays the melodies: first, one titled “Hill Call” and second, one titled “Ode to the Wood.” To the boy’s dismay, nothing happens - or so it seems, until several fey spirits appear and rejoice in being called upon once again!

Theme

How does it fit the theme?
I included a lute and a fiddle, as suggested by the picture theme. The music evokes mythical and mystical themes, and functions as trying to remember and eventually remembering something long-forgotten.
