"Porz Goret" is a contemporary classical piece composed by French musician and composer Yann Tiersen. The piece was released in 2016 as part of his album "Eusa," which is a collection of 10 piano pieces, each named after a location on the island of Ushant, where Tiersen grew up. The premiere of "Porz Goret" was on September 30, 2016, when the album "Eusa" was released. The piece is named after a beach on the island of Ushant, where Tiersen spent a lot of time as a child. "Porz Goret" is a slow and melancholic piece, with a simple and repetitive melody that is played throughout the entire piece. The piece is in the key of G major and is written in 4/4 time. The tempo is marked as "Andante," which means a moderate walking pace. The piece is divided into three distinct sections, each with its own character and mood. The first section is slow and introspective, with a simple melody played in the right hand and a repetitive chord progression in the left hand. The second section is more dynamic and energetic, with a faster tempo and a more complex melody. The third section returns to the slow and introspective mood of the first section, with the melody played in a higher register and a more complex chord progression in the left hand. The overall character of "Porz Goret" is one of nostalgia and longing. The repetitive melody and chord progression create a sense of longing and yearning, while the slow tempo and introspective mood evoke a sense of nostalgia and reflection. The piece is a beautiful and haunting tribute to the natural beauty of Ushant and the memories that Tiersen has of his childhood there.
