Processional and Recessional Music for my and Nadya's Wedding

Music in 17edo for my and Nadya's wedding. The first movement is our processional music, and the second our recessional music. I do borrow the downmajor third from 34edo at the very end for a sweet and smooth Picardy third, but since this is only at the very end I still consider the piece to be 17edo in essence rather than 34edo.
Except for the borrowed note at the end, the piece uses 11 tones, from a segment of the circle of fifths from Cb through A. (So C Db D Eb F Gb G Ab A Bb Cb.) I use half-sharp and half-flat spellings in the score when they seem to make more sense.
The music is organized around four main motifs:
1. The dawn motif: the six notes in the bass at the start of the piece.
2. The suncatcher motif: the right hand melody in mm. 9-10.
3. The sunshine motif: first played in the bass of m. 22. This is borrowed from Sunshine, a previous piece of mine that I dedicated to Nadya.
4. Sakura: the Japanese folk tune. It's in the piece because Nadya and I have special memories involving cherry blossoms.
I originally hoped to make the recessional music a fugue. It opens like one, but I often break the contrapuntal texture, and the counterpoint is sloppy even during contrapuntal passages. The theme of the (faux) fugue is a fusion of (a fragment of) the dawn motif and the suncatcher motif.

👏👏👏 Congrats!
It’s very nice these two pieces are so motif-rich. I haven’t listened to a thing like that for a long time if ever. It’s even like it’s an element of your overall style if I’m to try and remember other stuff? 🙂

Thank you!
In my music I often try to organize pieces around a small number of simple motifs, but I went a bit overboard with it for these pieces. Since the music was for a special day, I made a point to use motifs that already had meaning to me and Nadya.
