Her Peace

I am working on a song for a full orchestra. This is my first attempt at something like this and I still need more experience on this but I thought I might as well give it a try. The song uses repetitive melodies to try and capture the feeling of a storm. I want to expand on this song and make edits to what I currently have later in the future, but for now I felt I needed to upload. Feedback and constructive criticism is welcomed. Enjoy! :)

Crinkled Bag 1

During my 3rd undergraduate year/Spring semester at Grinnell College, I worked with my adviser on research that has led to the creation of this piece (I composed it XD). My research involved analysis of modern and contemporary pieces such as Kevin Puts' Credo, Leo Ornstein's String Quartet, Lutoslawski's String Quartet. As well as more classical and romantic pieces by Beethoven, Ravel, Dvořák, and many more.

The general themes of this piece center around the idea of a "perfect" society which leads to the silencing of marginalized voices. In this sense, a "utopian" society can become dystopian based on perspective. Furthermore, themes of: punishing outspoken individuals, being unable to speak, and an acceptance of a broken world drive the piece. The full piece consist of 6 movements with the fifth mvt. written for solo cello.

I don't want to speak on this piece too much for I appreciate music that speaks for itself and that can be interpretted in many ways outside of the composer's own thoughts. With this in mind, enjoy "Dystopian"!
