The beginning of this piece has been spindled in my head for a while, and on Saturday, I finally decided that I would record a first draft and post it up here for everyone to hear. Please, tell me how you like it. I will caution you. For those who pay attention to wrong notes and what not, there are plenty of those in here. I will be posting more as I manage to keep it together, and eventually, I'll post the full piece. I'm leaning toward three possible movements.
My Rationale
Boston is a fantastic city. (yes, I know, I'm biased, considering I've lived here all my life.) My goal with this piece, is, of course, to depict all of her different facets, her personality, if you will, while at the same time, emulating the well-respected and time-honored composers of the baroque, classical, and romantic periods. Let's see how many of you can figure out who this first movement emulates? Sound off in the comments.
