The Far Reaches of Sound #4 - Petal Dance

The fourth song on "The Far Reaches of Sound" was my attempt at a baroque style piece; I was working through that period of music in a class at the time. That particular class (Music Appreciation on FLVS) inspired a number of songs, including Petal Dance, and the last song on this album, Fort Nova, which you can hear on soundcloud. Petal Dance is a unique mixture of classical sounds and more modern rhythms. It's lively and frenetic, and was a change of pace for me after Cobalt and Sector H, both of which were kind of slow. Speaking of which, the tempo at which I set my songs varies between 90 and 130 bpm, but usually winds up being 100. Oh, right, the song. Here. :)

Edit: The name Petal Dance comes from a move in the Pokemon video game series, where the selected creature releases a whirlwind of razor sharp flower petals. This is what I imagined when making the song.
