Six Lines of Music No. 2

In Mainland Empire Records by newduereview

Not all parts of this composition have movements. No. 2 is an example of this where there is just one piece within the larger work. It had 2 other movements, but I felt they did not fit into the grander vision of the music. Subscribe For Content Updates! Name Email Address Check out Six Lines of Music no.3
