Fuga Eclipsis (for classical orchestra) | Original Composition in G-Minor

Concept: → this is a double fugue, which means it has two subjects rather than the usual one → the subject marked in orange I will call “astral subject”, the one in blue “lunar subject” (I will explain the reasoning behind the names further down) → while double fugues usually either have two separate expositions for the two subjects or present both subjects simultaneously in the beginning, in the fugue at hand, the lunar subject is revealed gradually: → in the exposition, only the first two notes are given, playing before each full astral subject → in the entry after the exposition at 0:38, three more notes are added, and at 0:46, two more notes → the first entry with the full lunar subject starts at 0:54, but in inversion (the astral subject is also inverted) → after that, most entries of the astral subject are accompanied by an entry of the lunar subject → the gradual reveal, or waxing, as it were, of the lunar subject mimics the moon phase from crescent to full moon (hence also the name “lunar subject”; the astral subject reminds me of the multitude and twinkle of stars) → the entry at 1:59 is the only full astral subject entry completely without any part of the lunar subject; this mimics a lunar eclipse (hence the name of the piece) → directly after that, there is a last full entry of the lunar subject (together with an inverted one), and then it wanes again Other noteworthy features: → the answer is not, as usually, a fifth higher than the subject, but a major seventh, which is due to the modulating makeup of the subject → there are two short stretto sections: at 1:37 and at 2:17; in the former, the last two notes of the fragmented lunar entry are simultaneously the first two notes of the lunar subject for a different key, which the astral subject at 1:45 enters in → the head of the astral subject appears in augmentation in the final part of the coda at 2:52 The fugue has four parts and is written for classical orchestra.
