Combining Riemannian Harmony with Polychords and Arpeggio Melody

In this short mood piece 'The Midnight Dance Begins' for synthesizers and orchestral instruments the starting point is a set of chord progressions, including a Riemannian hexatonic pair. Using a limited set of techniques we create extended harmony with pedal point, or polychords. From these chord structures we derive melody and arpeggio motifs. The musical elements are discussed in detail and you'll hear the full composition. There is companion material on Patreon (PDF, 25 pp., A4).
