Close

Close is a chorale that sings the praises of a universal theme: love. The people who are dear to you are the ones you'd like to keep as close to you as possible, to make sure you can hug them from time to time. This was not always a matter of course during the past COVID period - an absence which many people felt deeply. The desire for the closeness of love is expressed in a beautiful, lyrical melody supported by warm harmonies. After a quiet opening, the music builds up to a grand climax, and it features tender as well as ardent moments. Perfect to dream away, as well as to dwell on the many aspects that belong to love.
