โYour Angelโ by Richard Green is a tender and melancholic masterpiece that evokes the bittersweet emotions of approaching the end of a love story. It reflects on the living, thriving and gushing, enduring power of love. As the penultimate track on Greenโs concept EP, The Circle Closes, it serves to transcend the physical realm and become a bridge between life and what comes after.
The song unfolds in a beautiful, relaxed piano melody with its gentle notes creating a storytelling vibe. Then, the strings enter, their slow wail tinged with both theatrical melancholy and a strange sort of hopeful spirit. The piano continues its graceful patter, like raindrops amidst a swelling tide of emotion. The string arrangements engulf us in layers amidst the intriguing story that heaves and falls in falling excitement and rising passion.
Green got a gist of both classical and contemporary music in the piece with the acclaimed pianist Irene Veneziano(finalist or semi-finalist of more than 70 competition) and the Archimia string quartet, drawing inspiration from artists like Giovanni Allevi. This fusion is evident in โYour Angel.โ The song is undeniably classical in its structure and instrumentation, yet it possesses a modern sensibility that makes it accessible to a wider audience. Itโs a beautiful example of how classical music can be reimagined for the modern age.
Listen to โYour Angelโ by Green to keep the lost close to your heart.
