22 hours ago22 hr Dear all.I am glad to share with you the final movement of my Symphony No.1! This is the official conclusion of my whole set of Symphony No.1! I can't believe it is done after few years. Hope you all enjoy it! About the workAs usual, the highly motivic and related to other movements. The third three notes "dat-dat dat!" serves the main motive (and new material) of this movement. As an answer, the motive from First movement (blue) is immediately recalled with little modiciation in rhythm. The second mvt. motive (green) also enter the party very soon. The work reaches the climax at m.244 from the build up of m.193 which goes into a very big bright chord. The last part of the work starts are m.274 and ended with a crash of different motives.
12 hours ago12 hr I'm really enjoying this movement and shall have to check out the rest! One thing your orchestral style reminds me of is the style of parts of Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra, where folksy tunes and whimsical syncopation disguise rather dissonant harmony! Just wondering; do you write directly into the computer, or on paper? Honestly, I can't tell, which is a good thing...I will write directly into the computer for a piano piece, but wouldn't do so for a symphony, if I ever wanted to write another. Heck, it kinda reminds me of the Shostakovich First, teenage masterpiece, in its playful quirkiness. I'll be looking into more of your stuff.

You are not the first one who recall Bartok while listening my works - I guess it is because of the crude dissonance.I mainly write on computer as it gives me immediate playback which makes my writing more convenient.It is important the method of writing follows the speed my idea comes! haha. It also make the engraving easier.Here is the full set of my Symphony No.1:Symphony No.1 - First Movement - Orchestral and Large Ensemble - Young Composers Music ForumSymphony No.1 - Second Movement - Orchestral and Large Ensemble - Young Composers Music ForumSymphony No.1 - Finale - Orchestral and Large Ensemble - Young Composers Music Forum
