dc.description.abstract	This document contains the full score to Symphony No. I, a composition for wind ensemble comprised of four movements lasting approximately thirty minutes. On the macro level, this symphony is motivic, and is centered upon two chorales composed by Johann Sebastian Bach: Christ lag in Todesbanden and Durch Adams Fall ist ganz verdervt from the Kalmus edition of the 371 Four-Part Chorales. The two chorales form the fabric of the entire symphony. The piece is cyclical and on the micro level, the movements are constructed in such a way that thematic, rhythmic, and gestural elements return throughout the symphony creating a continuity between them through thematic development and restatement. The instrumentation is: piccolo, two flutes, three Bb clarinets, Bb bass clarinet, Bb contrabass clarinet, two bassoons, contrabassoon, soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone, four horns in F, three Bb trumpets, two trombones, bass trombone, euphonium in bass clef, tuba, double bass, timpani, and five percussion. The score to Symphony No. I is supplemented with an analysis of the structure, key centers, harmonic materials, and motivic and melodic usage of the Bach chorales.	en_US
