This video uses a short clip from the fourth of ten tracks that make up the symphonic suite Passion's Progress by Bernard J. Taylor, which has some of the most beautiful music you will ever hear. The work traces the progress of a passionate relationship, from a time of emptiness through the ups and downs of romantic passion to its final resolution.
'Doubt' is about the undermining of passion by negative thoughts and perceptions, or by circumstances that intervene to disrupt the relationship. The exhilaration of the initial romantic encounter gives way to doubt. Suddenly there are second thoughts. You realise that there is a lot you do not know about your new love, whose previous existence begins to interfere. The past, in the form of previous and ongoing attachments, and the habits and values of a lifetime, begin to raise questions about compatibility. There may be jealousy, because you cannot possess or wipe away the other's past life - that part of their life which has been lived without you. (This description is taken from the Bernard J.
