New Composition

A theme i've been playing with for ages cropped up again today. It's for the bassoon and i'm wanting to eventually form it into some sort of orchestral suite.

When i orginally composed this, i has the idea of a contrabass plucking notes underneath it, and maybe a form of percussion supporting it, however i'll play around with it and try to upload something D:

Serialism Suite 1 for Orchestra

 

Serialism Suite 1 for Orchestra.

Wrote this for my course using early serialism techniques, my prime tone row is:

Bb, D, E, G, C#, C, A, F#, F, G#, Eb, B.

I used my tone row to determine only the pitch order i would use. The rhythm, dynamics, timbre and which row i would use when was chose at my own accord.

This was written for orchestra; Piccolo, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Horn, 2 Trumpets in Bb, Violin, Violas, Cellos, Bass, Contrabass, Timpani, Triangle, Gong and Bass Drum.

In The Presence of The Grand

 

 In The Presence of The Grand

Original intention for this was a ballet, however i turned it more into just a suite for easy listening. I used two flutes, violin, harp, sitar, orchestral bells and a timpani, as it has a gentle feel to it.
