    Originally named "Father's Path" the intent of this piece was to tip my hat to my father's strong guidance and gentle grace. The beat is steadfast and strong. The melody is unwavering and simple to understand.

    I was going to record vocals on this piece but opted out for simplicity sake.
    I thought the title "Father's Path" would not be understood without lyrics so I renamed the piece Culverin.

    Here is how i came to this title (not that you really care - but it should be documented somewhere):
    The idea of "learning" from your father's rules/guidance could maybe be interpreted from the "Cannon" alone - assuming the audience knew the definition of a musical Cannon.

    The Cannon (wiki-style):
    The Old French canon, which meant "learned", was taken from the Greek kanon for "rule" or "law", which eventually came to mean "an accepted rule" in English. This term was first used to refer to the rule that describes how the voices relate to each other. (i.e. how my voice/footprint relates to my father's)

    Instead I decided to label the piece in a super abstract fashion and name the track "Culverin" which is essentially the first Cannon ever invented - as an added plus titles as weapons fit well with a Dossier (right?!).

    "Hurrah! the foes are moving. Hark to the mingled din,
    Of fife, and steed, and trump, and drum, and roaring culverin."
    Macaulay, Ivry, 31-32
