Frog Song (Naked Man Dance)

This piece was written after a weekend of listening to various works by Erik Satie, but especially the Gymnopadies.

It is intended to evoke the feeling of quarantine during a pandemic. The repeated bars are not unpleasant, but a bit numbing (much like sitting in your house all day). There is searching (the first melodic section), hope (second), and even beauty (the C major section), but also anger and resignation (the F major section), but no matter what it all comes back to the numbness.
