I am rather pleased with this one. I think it has turned out pretty well. We actually decided on a chord sequence just a minute before we played it. It is all improvised with no preliminary discussion or practice.

Maybe it perhaps represents the tranquility of the garden of the Teatro Olimpico, in Vicenza, northern Italy. This is the famous theatre designed by Palladio and one of the earliest that still survive.
