Душа России

@Piligrim

Russian-soul nocturne for symphony orchestra, placing the heaviest emotional statement inside the quietest passage. Slow 6/8 in D minor, with solo piano, muted strings, bass clarinet, and distant French horns. Expand into lush cello lines, low brass, harp harmonics, and timpani rolls, then recede to whispered violins and solo oboe. Russian folk inflections, dark woodwind color, restrained dynamics., instrumental only, no vocals
