The composition "Golden Hour" is infused with a warm and inviting character, primarily characterized by its unique 12/8 time signature and soft tempo of 65 BPM. This creates a flowing, lilting feel, typical of balladic pieces.

Structural Features:

• Melody: The main melody predominantly resides in the right-hand part, featuring a delicate progression centered around the notes F#5 to C#6. The flow is smooth and lyrical, especially noticeable in measures following the initial introduction, such as measures 1-8 and 17-24. The use of sustained notes in the melody gives a sighing quality, which complements the theme of tranquility.

• Harmonic Progression: The harmony is developed using a sequence of chords that primarily supports the melody. The piece oscillates between primary chords, particularly the I (E major), IV (A major), and V (B major) in various forms which can be seen in sections like measures 25-32. This gives the piece a grounded yet elevated feel, creating space that allows the melody to shine.

• Decorative Elements: Throughout the score, one can observe the use of grace notes and trills in specific passages (e.g., measures 65-72). These embellishments enrich the melodic line and provide moments of embellishment that aid in emphasizing the lyrical quality and emotional depth.

• Rhythmic Patterns: The piece favors a pronounced use of dotted rhythms, creating a syncopated feel that draws attention to the emotional crescendos, particularly in phrasing that leads into the chorus-like sections (like measure 39).
