| dc.description.abstract | This document contains the complete score to Symphony No. 1, a composition for
concert band complete in one movement lasting approximately thirty-five minutes. On
the macro level, this symphony is episodic, containing six sections of approximately
equal length. These sections combine to form a mirror structure, with Sections I and VI,
II and V, and III and IV corresponding to each other. At the micro level, the sections are
constructed using ternary, theme and variations, and through-composed forms, and are
unified through thematic development and restatement. The score to Symphony No. 1 is
supplemented with an analysis of the structure, key centers, harmonic materials, and
motivic and melodic usage. Material used in Section III of Symphony No. 1 was used to
compose the companion work Discursion for woodwind quintet; this score is included as an appendix. | en_US |
