Elegance Theme

Written and Recorded in 1991

A long instrumental tune I wrote for a newly formed band called Elegance, led by myself on the guitar and the keyboard, in early 1991. Though the tune was written corresponding to the personnel of the band at that moment, with a potential additional position for a cello player, before its creation finished, the personnel of the band changed so rapidly that the tune had almost no opportunity to be rehearsed properly by Elegance at all.

Despite this failure, I recognised that the tune contained some significant ideas to give bases for some future compositions and later converted most elements of this tune into one of my flagship conceptual works called Music for a Story-Telling, which was composed between 1993 and 1996.
