Enduring Memories of Bygone Times

Hi y'all, this is my submission for round 2 of JM's World Cup competition! In this piece, I went for a nostalgic and old-timey feel, but with a hint of regret throughout. I really hope you all enjoy, I had a ton of fun writing this!

So this score is built around 3 ideas: the stabs (m1, m34, m102), the main motif (first appears m9, shows up a lot throughout), and the lyrical melody (first appears m49). The stabs are the impact moment, very grand and powerful, the main motif is sad and regretful, and the lyrical is nostalgic and cheerful. The goal with these was to really emphasize the focus on the past felt throughout this piece.

Regardless of all that, I had a great time writing this piece, and I hope you enjoy listening to it!
