Some Time
Two songs, two voices with an orchestra, and the feeling that something precious has gone.
No beats.
No spectacle.
These songs can be listened to independently, but they also work well as a pair.

Slow, cinematic orchestral ballad, for mixed male and female voices, Long sustained string chords, warm legato phrasing, wide harmonic spacing, No drums, no percussion, no beat, Gentle rubato tempo, flowing and expressive rather than rhythmic, Emotional tone: reflective, bittersweet, quietly hopeful, elegiac, Arrangement: string orchestra (violins, violas, cellos, basses), soft French horns, distant woodwinds, light piano accents, No synths, no pop instrumentation, no rhythmic pulse, Melody should be lyrical and vocal-led, with natural rises and falls, long held notes, and breath-like phrasing, Harmonies should feel rich and classical rather than modern or cinematic-trailer style, Overall feel: a mid-20th-century Broadway or film musical ballad, intimate and spacious, as if sung in a quiet theatre after midnight, No rhythm section, No tempo grid, Free-flowing orchestral timing only
