The Search for Nelly Gray, VII Weariness
Weariness is a continuation of VI, Encounters, in that it is explicitly foreshadowed there, when Ned refers to a lone voice starting up a song and both camps joining in (even as cannon are being positioned for what will amount to the slaughter of the rebel band in the morning), and again at the end, after the skirmish and the unit marches on, when he sees Nelly walking beside him as they climb a mountain pass.
I consider "Tenting Tonight" as a climactic point, so the next section will be a scherzo. A break, in some ways, from the matters yet to come, including the fate of Nelly and Ned, which I am getting anxious to learn.
The .not file is, I think, within the limits, but will put it into a zip file, which should be a lot faster.
The volume of all instruments is adjusted for the soundfonts I used, so a better idea of how I am hearing it would come from the Soundclick entry, which I will be putting up shortly.
all best,
