I made this for the NGUAC competition.

I bought a renaissance instruments sample library, Rinascimento, a few years ago but haven't used it much, so I thought this would be a good opportunity. I exclusively used this library. Although the renaissance instruments aren't as refined and expressive as what I usually compose with, I find the sound charming and have a lot of fun working with them.

The song depicts a man's naïve love fantasy in a stream-of-consciousness manner.
