21: The Guided Tour

It strikes me as rather unseemly for a composer to publicly analyse his/her compositions in detail, but to not go there at all would be to defeat the educational purpose of this blog.

(Gustave Dore)

Consequently the next few posts will be in the nature of a guide through the terrain of Lightfall, rather than a formal, didactic analysis. We will look at the geology of the region, take an aerial view of the landscape, visit the remains of ancient concepts, track the migration of its inhabitants and discover the odd social custom or two.
