about

The opening movement begins in the key of C minor and is written in sonata form. The overall theme of this movement is presented as a somber, yet powerful anthem. The key feature of this movement is the use of the Aeolian mode; instead of using the traditional harmonic minor key, I have chosen to use the natural form of minor. The concept of using this key comes from the idea of creating distinct harmonies that encapsulate an entirely different musical and emotional essence. The movement begins with an extended introduction that captures the Adagio typically found as the second movement in a four-movement symphony. The exposition follows after and introduces the main theme. The development explores this theme and foreshadows thematic material to come. The recapitulation ends the development and restates the main theme of the exposition before the entry of the coda.
