'Ouverture' from 'Non omnis moriar' by J. L. Jurgens

This is the 'Ouverture' from the 'Non omnis moriar' dance suite by Jacques Jurgens. It starts with a slow, dotted-rhythm introduction. A very short fugato follows at 2:05, after which the introductory material returns for a short while.

Truly great. The ouverture is every bit as good as something I would expect to hear from Lully.

@Jalapablo Thank you so much, Paul! I really appreciate your compliment. I wrote it quite soon after seeing 'Le roi danse' in 2000, and Lully's music in that movie inspired me to write this piece :).

It's a beautiful composition, I enjoyed it . I think you can keep your fugato section as it is now; it's more original this way, and it is interesting enough to catch your attention and not to make the piece unbalanced. :)

@TripleMirror Much appreciated! Thank you :). I am glad that you like it as it is now. The only reason why I would consider expanding it is to develop the fugal theme a little more to see what interesting effects and melodies it might yield. But if enough people like it just as it is, I might as well put my energy into composing new pieces :). Thanks once again!

@CompuMuze Thank you very much! I'm glad you like the fugato section; I hope to expand it one day.
