This song was written in 2021 for the compilation "nintendium 118 volume 3", organized by PSG cabal. The prompt was to make a song based on element 47 of the periodic table, commonly known as "silver"

Thanks to Teuthida, Aquellex and MelonadeM for their work on the compilation
Here are the original liner notes:
Silver was a fun element to work with, because it's a very culturally charged one ! My first reflex was to try to evoke a feeling of "shininess", and apparently I was pretty spot on since the latin word for silver, "argentum" was derived from a word meaning "white, shiny".
So, bright shiny arps, metallic noises. And to seal the deal, I included a section in 47/16, to reference silver's atomic number, 47. The title is a dumb pun, but also fitting the music since the cheerful melody always shines through after the more tense and dark sections :) !
