Multi-Movement Symphonic Band Piece

Removed

This is quite something you have here already, it's a pretty engaging listen. I don't have much to comment on what's already written, but at the end there you have the kind of 'victorious' sounding bit with the bells and all, which then start sounding darker again before the final few measures where you pick up the pace again (I am just saying it as I heard it, I kind of lost track at the end with the score). You've gone quite a while at that point without any real interruption, like you did after the first part in m35. Why not extend the 'movement' (as in motion) of the last measures for one or two additional measures in ff, and then drop it all of a sudden to a piano part with less movement (something in character like the first part of mvmt 1). From there on you can introduce whatever new motifs or melodies you want, or let it be interrupted by some 'hits' of angry ff chords, or building up tension with harmony, or... well whatever you want really.

I don't know what you want to tell in your 3rd mvmt, but mvmt 1 quiet, mvmt 2 forceful, I'd say mvmt 3 quiet again, like innocent but with some quirks (since it has been harassed by temptation, which's got to leave its mark somehow). Or you could make it jolly with some really odd or scary bits - like the music you would imagine to hear in horrormovies when a demonchild (girl in a gown with raggedy hair, obviously) is sitting on a swing just singing a happy song until you approach it and it has no eyes and will haunt you for the rest of your life. A happy waltz with some aweful glissandos, innocent song with hits and dissonances at the worst imaginable places... you catch my drift I suppose.

Just some thoughts, good luck with this piece!

Thanks a lot for you feedback and im glad you like whats there so far. Im glad you suggested going back to a quiet and suspensfull sound because it sparked a though.

I have an old piece that I wrote that I ended up scraping and ive gone back to it a few times to grab sections out of it and put it into other pieces, and I have the perfect section of quiet, suspensful, and eerie sounding music that would fit perfectly at the current end position of my piece.

you may have just cured my writers block.
