Find Your Dawn

My submission to Redline's Monthly Composing Challenge #6.

Overview:

Find Your Dawn is an experimental narrative piece which explored how to tell a story using the provided theme in various different contexts. I tried experimenting with the theme through rhythmic and pitch variations, inverting (vertical flipping of notes), reversing (horizontal flipping of notes), and trying it out in various key and time signatures throughout the piece.

The purpose of all of these variations is to build up to the Coda, where the original theme is played as part of the final melody. 

The piece begins in B minor in 6/4, modulates to F# minor in 4/4, then ends on C# minor in 6/4.

For me, this piece is about adversity, despair, hope, and self-discovery. I'm curious to learn what you guys think about it!

Structure:

Exposition - Interlude - Development A - Development B - Recapitulation - Coda

Thanks for listening, I hope you enjoyed it!
