Hive Music Festival | Week, 120 round 3 | "Ahora" by Otilio Galindez

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Time close these rounds of the Hive Music Festival. For my entry of this week, I have this waltz by Venezuelan composer, Otilio Galindez. He has some really nice compositions. Most of what I have listened to is on the sad side. This one is also kind of sad, but it a beautiful piece.

It follows some common standards of music having a very clear motif being disclosed at the beginning of the piece. Then, it uses the final bit of the first part as a bridge to reconnect to the beginning.

In my arrangement, there are no more repetition than having the verse once time and using the same ending twice to go to the end of the piece. The intro is also a new part based on the melody but in a higher octave and descending. I think it gives it a nice touch.

This song is also one of those weird instances of music that mentions the seasons in an area where there are no seasons at all. However, I have heard that some people talk about the rain season as a sort of winter. It makes no actual sense. But to each their own.

I'll leave a link to one of the versions I like the most. It is a cover by the singer Fabiola Jose. Her voice captures the essence of solemn beauty present in Otilio's composition. It is also a recording with a really good sound quality.

I hope you like my cover and maybe the wind in the recording doesn't bother you too much. It's been a windy afternoon.
