Disquietude

Hi all,

This is an orchestra composition I started years ago and posted.  Since then ... over the last 3 weeks or so - I have developed the work.  I had one meeting with my mentor to get started; however, I need to arrange a new meeting to share this latest and most complete version.  As the title suggests this is NOT a romantic work.

All comments most welcome.

Hi @MJFOBOE,

The piece is quite interesting with your usual approach of the orchestral colour. I actually have never seen you end a piece in this energetic manner with a long crescendo up to the end and in an affirming G major key.

Thx for sharing.

Henry,

As always thanks for listening ....

Yes, the ending is a bit different for me.  I played the work for my son-in law the other week (a music teacher) and he thought my original ending lack a strong final statement.  So the other day I wrote the new ending.  I guess it has a bit of the 20th century in it.  As I said I haven't shared this with my Mentor as yet; so it will be interesting to get his feedback.  In any event - I wanted to create a bit of ruckus and discomfort as the title indicates.  If I do make changes I will post them for comparison sake.  I am getting better writing supporting/contrasting harmonic lines as written in the upper voices and brass to contrast to my melodic/thematic material.

Always a pleasure to post.
