The Widow and the Artist

[Billy]

Just an instrumental I'm afraid. Melodies and counter melodies abound in this composition.

Set in the Edwardian era, Rebecca is made a widow due to her husband dying in battle in some far flung corner of the empire. She finds it increasingly hard to make ends meet and decides to take in a lodger in the form of Claude, a Frenchman who is a struggling artist. They eventually fall in love and embark on a passionate affair (of course they do).

Thanks for listening

Very nice, Billy. Definitely has a film score feel to it .. or as an interlude piece. Particularly liked the flute feathering in and out. Great job mate!

Wonderful, Billy - at first I was wating for vocals, but after a minute or two I did not miss it at all. Very nicely woven folk/new age style, right up my alley.

Hi Billy:

I've been meaning to take a listen to this but wanted to ensure there were going to be no interuptions whilst I closed my eyes and absorbed every delightful morsel of sound.

It is wonderful, I can see the picture clear as day, just lovely.

How beautiful this is. I love musical stories.    Gorgeous melody weaving its way throughout, and the flute is so delicate.
