March 24, 201114 yr Wingra Suite is a work in progress; the finished work will be a 3 movement symphony for winds and percussion. It is written as an abbreviated instrumental Suite de Danse meant to portray the four seasons around Lake Wingra, in Madison, Wisconsin. The concept of the piece is to look from the eyes of a deaf "dreamer" who perceives all they see as a sound. I am starting this topic because I'd like to take you all with me on my journey to write my first symphony! Wingra Suite-Movement_1.pdf
April 11, 201114 yr Author This is the most updated version as of April 10th, 2011. The transition from autumn to winter was redone, and is replaced with the section where you now will see/hear 3 section antiphony. :-D wingrasuitemvt1_april102011.mp3 Wingra Suite-Movement_1.pdf
April 11, 201114 yr Just a few comments. The harmonic progression at the opening seems a bit odd for the genre - could be me though. I also get a little of a sense of incompleteness. I'll look at it more tomorrow after class.

May 31, 201114 yr Author Okay, Here is movement II, which I recently worked on, as of Monday, May 30th. What is to come: For All 4 movements, I am adding a 3rd clarinet part, a second flute part, a second trombone part, and a 3rd horn part. Changes to Movement I: it will be more fully orchestrated, and the winter storm/blizzard section will be rewritten. Changes to Movement II: I will be further orchestrating, and working on the summer section. I probably will rewrite the pantonal section. Within the next couple weeks, I will begin posting parts of Movements III and IV, including the program notes for them as well. Wingra Suite, Movement II.mp3 Wingra Suite_Movement_II.pdf
