Description
A piano starts out, playing a song of old. It plays around with a melody originally from a time long forgotten. As it moves on, it leaps off on the edge of the wind, taking the listener on a journey back in time to the original tune. As you listen you're suddenly transformed into a stuffy room somewhere in England. A party of nobles all dressed up for show and to hobnob with one another. They seem to be present for mere bragging rights. They're discussing much of nothing, mumbling about their occupations, and to show off their wealth and social status. A small group of instrumentalists plays off in the corner. You get the sense that the party has been going on for some time, and the small musical group is quite tired of playing. In particular the harpsichord player, very much out of character, is getting strangely boisterous with his playing and appears to be a little "tipsy", while the others are just trying to follow his lead and get the party over with.

for the harpsichord player. May his/her influence on the rest of the band be felt. Thanks for a musical trip into time and space. Very deftly done.
