Causa by Naythen Wilson

This piece of music is the opening movement to an opera that I composed when I was attending the Music Education program at UMO back in the early-mid 90's. The Opera's name is "Causa" which means "It Causes" in Italian, and the movement is entitled "Per Sempre Nella Contatto", which means "Forever in Touch". It was written in September of 1993, as one of the first experiments I took into the realm of composing opera.

This music is the backdrop to a painstaking march of warriors and noblemen away from a riverside grave. It details their grief, as they traverse through the mountains. They have left behind the lover of the fallen woman. He sits high in their ranks, but is devastated beyond words, and pledges to keep her dead body company, so that no one can harm her anymore. You can hear the hesitance in the music, their urge to not leave him behind, be he is determined to die beside her. This music is rooted in some Eastern European classical music, and some Hungarian folk music that I was listening to at the time.

OE Inc has its roots in centuries old practices of civic placement, stacked resolution, and expelled courses brought on by darkened doors. We will put out what we put out, unapologetically.
This path is certain.
