Watchman's song

Set within the harmonic domain of C Major (zero sharps and zero flats), the score secures tonal focus on C. Expressive depth is enhanced through secondary pivots into A Minor and dominant reinforcement via G Major. Harmonically, the musical line relies on fundamental triad relationships (F Major and G Major) around the tonic root.
