Cordolium

Cordolium is a deeply emotional and introspective composition that explores the pain and turmoil of heartbreak and loss. Cordolium is defined as heartfelt grief or a severe feeling of heartbreak. This piece was composed after several sleepless nights hating myself for missing someone I was in love with, who ended up using me in the long run. It begins with a slow and somber introduction, using sparse and dissonant harmonies to create a sense of despair and sorrow. The melody enters in the alto saxophone, expressing the agony of grief with a sense of raw and naked emotion.
 
As the piece progresses, the tempo becomes more fluid and the harmonies become more intense and bittersweet, reflecting the sense of chaos and confusion that often accompanies heartbreak. The timbre between vibraphone and alto saxophone becomes more agitated and prominent, evoking the metallic taste of blood and the physical sensation of pain.
 
The climax of the piece features a a turn from the minor, to the major, back to the minor, representing the feeling of becoming comfortable, yet consumed by grief. The music gradually subsides, leaving the listener with a sense of exhaustion and resignation.
 
Overall, "Cordolium" is a powerful and moving composition that captures the complex and deeply personal experience of loss and heartbreak. It is a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, and the ability to find hope and healing in the face of great pain and suffering.
