Story behind the song
It took me 25 years of many abandoned attempts to finish the previous Parallel Sevenths piece, which was to be the last of the Parallel Intervals. Perhaps because I had revisited these pieces so many times over those 25 years, looking for an idea to finish the Parallel Sevenths piece, all of those Parallel Interval pieces were very familiar friends to me for much of my adult life. I never found the Parallel Sevenths piece to be a satisfying ending for the collection, which is perhaps the reason I had so much difficulty finishing it. Once I finished the Parallel Sevenths, it was obvious that there should be a final Octaves interval piece. With all of the other Parallel Interval pieces having been long-time friends, it was clear that the Octaves piece should give a final stage for the themes of each of the intervals. That is highly meaningful to me. It hopefully makes musical structural sense also.
