Symphony No. 1 in D - Mvt 1

Hello all!

I feel bad that I have not posted in such a looooong time. Due to college prep, I've really had little time to upload stuff, or even compose for that matter. I wrote most of this symphony a few months ago as a cello/viola double concerto, left it for a while to ferment in my brain (got bored of it), picked it up again later, thought better and rewrote the whole thing as a symphony, with a larger orchestra and most importantly an ending. Then I left it again for a month or two, just picked it up, refined some minor stuff, and made a better recording for all to hear.

I guess this is a product of my studies in music theory, or rather, in spite of them. Mainly, my knowledge of some music theory was bogging down and drying out my compositions, and this was somewhat of a rebellion against that, because I didn't want to think about the theory, I just wanted to write the music.

Of course, it's still incomplete..."technically."

I have suppled [EDITED] AN MP3 (about 5 mb), a finale file and a pdf.

Thank you for listening. I really hope you enjoy!

Cheers,

Evan

EDIT - The mp3 should be working now. I used upload hut, so it may be a little slower...

The link to the mp3 does not work

Really great work. I enjoy your melodic approach and appreciate that you don't try to use dissonance everywhere just because people think you should. I look forward to hearing the Symphony as it progresses.

Thank you very much!

The mp3 has been updated, and should work now (though it will be slow...).

nice

That was profound.
