about

This three-movement symphony was originally written in 2015-2016 as the thesis for my Master of Music Composition requirement. The whole work encompasses a cyclical feeling as each section references the other, and the primary keys of each movement spell a C Minor triad (C, E♭, G.)

The 3 movements explore the different states of mind that I had while composing the piece: Movement I. is a strong, ambitious build of emotion signifying how I felt when undertaking this project; Movement II. is a whimsical scherzo and waltz that shows the contentedness I had with the progress I had made at that point; Movement III. is an explosive, frantic rush of emotion as my deadline loomed ahead of me, and the stress and anxiety increased.
