Retrouvaille doesn't have a direct English translation. It's the joy that's felt after a long separation.

Fanfare - Big adventure-type fanfare. Adventure awaits!

Discovery - Beats over augmented chords. Mystery abound!

Retrouvaille - An... Opera?.. Bittersweet reunion! The word 'retrouvaille' doesn't have a direct English translation. It's the joy that's felt after a long separation.

It's incredible that you made this in just one week! It started out soo good with the piano (my favorite instrument xD) and when the strings and after that the other instruments joined, it was just an overwhelming feeling to me. This is truly amazing!

This brought a smile to my face from the opening seconds. I could really see this being expanded into a standalone work. Great quality and production as well. A+!

What a weird, wonderful thing you’ve made. These vocal sections have such an “uncanny valley” vibe to them, you’ve managed to make them both sound expressive and robotic, which isn’t something I’ve come across before!

Your reserved, spacious approach to the drum processing in Discovery really hits home, too. I would have loved to hear this track expanded out more, exploring more of the “Ghost House” vibes from the start and the “Space Opera” vibes from the end.

Great work!

Wow... this was quite an experience.

Everything that I would expect from an orchestrated piece in this Jam (and more) is within this masterpiece. Dynamic, super emotive, extremely well composed, it's beautiful.

I especially like the sound decision in Discovery, very creative and it sounds very pleasing to my ears.

Incredible. Amazing work.

Great music! I love the orchestration in these pieces. I wish the vocal line had text to sing. It would have made the music that much more emotional. Great work!

Developer

Thank you so much!!! East-West have a super-powerful software called 'wordbuilder' !! It's only available for the choir's but I'm hoping they can implement it for Opera Singers too! Or... just attempt to sing it myself🤢
