“Suite 12-45-7 in C Minor”

Compositional process:
1. Using grand piano, developed a chord sequence in C Minor that I liked.
2. Played with 4 and 5 note pitch clusters until I settled on 1-2-4-5-7 — in this case, C, C#, D#, E, F# — to start the melody line.  This pitch cluster recurs in whole or in part throughout the melody. Use of pitch class set theory in this limited way avoids falling into melody line cliches. 
3. Tweaked melody and chords to make them sound better together. 
4. Orchestrated melody and chords for bass, cello, violins, bassoon, trombone, and French horn using standard tonal techniques.
