"Source" marks what I would consider my first successful attempt at applying formal structure to a composition, although not without difficulty and headache. The work was conceived in a fugato style, alternating between soft contrapuntal sections and grande chordal sections. My intention was to follow a traditional AABA structure using the B section as a tonal and timbral shift, however, I ran into the problem of excitedly adding whatever new material I could muster to my "contrasting B section." It was much to my dismay when I came to realized my B section was a different piece entirely! I have since split the sections into two pieces. "Source" is the reduction of nearly 9 minutes of material.
