Greetings,

A lamenting song, without words, in homage to a Troubadour poetic form
known as a planh (Latin: planctus).
Once again, nothing special going on here, just an original melody and
harmonization (hopefully enjoyable), something to keep me busy.
Downloads enabled, comments welcome.
Very nice ... but a few quick observations:
- cantus is lost (muddied) during harmonization(s)
- pedal point in second harmonization didn't always "work", although
that is my objective perspective
- coda was contemplative and enjoyable.
I thoroughly enjoyed the harmonizations: wonderful fusion of period and
modern styles.
thanks for sharing.
