So this has been an insanely busy week. Working out the fine details in each of my three pieces seemed to take much more time than I had anticipated. The hard part was finally closing Sibelius and accepting what i had down, knowing I would not be able to change anything else before hearing it in the concert.
Since i wrote two slower more atmospheric works, and one faster more ambitious work, it took me awhile to settle on an order and in the end I left it was I wrote it (chronologically). The two slower movements surround the more rhythmic one.
I think the pieces work as a set, but could also be preformed alone and would still create an effective atmosphere. I also came up with titles for them individually
I. Haze - The piece really is a gloomy atmosphere which leaves the listener with a sense of timelessness. I thought the word Haze described this very well
II. Advert - Which literally means to draw your attention to something. To point something out. Since i use a lot of rhythmic accents over a more flowing line, this title fit very well
III. Comatose - I received several comments on this piece. Particularly the piano line which was described as "going no where" and "no direction". I did edit it a little but i was quite happy with the part myself. This piece can be described as Comatose which means Unconscious
anyway I have done a lot of work on this music and am happy with the outcome. I am definatly looking forward to the concert and hearing these works preformed on the big stage.
