A Canto Unwritten

-For best experience, please use headphones!-

***Two quick notes:
1. Apologies for poor synchronization. I tried, but it's my first time actually doing it. Not 100% sure what I was doing.
2. There may be some weird faint crackling in the musescore audio. For some reason Flat doesn't take .wav files, and so the audio may have gotten a little messed up when converting to a .mp3. It should be mostly fine.

So this is a new orchestral piece that I wrote for my latest D&D campaign (called "Tetran Legacy"). I wanted to publish it because, frankly, I think it's a banger.
This was the first thing I made with MuseScore 4's audio, so it may not be perfect. I have a couple other orchestral pieces using MS4 audio that I'm working on that I may publish soon, which may be more polished as I get more practice.

The name of this piece is "A Canto Unwritten." The name was very intentional, as many names in this series of music will be. The definition of "canto" is "one of the sections into which certain long poems are divided." In this case, said Canto is unwritten.
This piece is made to evoke the lamenting, melancholy feeling of a forgotten history, which is a big theme in the campaign's story. It is the loss of a civilization's life work as it perishes, leaving its legacy uncertain and its history unwritten, eventually lost to the winds of time. I personally feel that this piece is a very good representation of that grief and eternal lamentation.
Another fairly large theme I want to mention is time and how it waits for no one. The clock ticking at the end of the piece is meant to represent the winds of time blowing, never stopping and never resting. Despite everything, in the end, time marches on, with or without you.

That's all I have to say on this one. Next week's publish should be my submission to Round 2 of JM's composition competition, but I may wait another week to publish it. We'll see.

Remember,
Reality's an illusion,
the universe is a hologram,
buy gold,
byeeeeee!
