March 6th

As I approach the end of my orchestral composition, several suggestions were brought forth. The primary suggestion is that I have calmer, less active sections as "breathing room" to avoid relentlessness. Conversely, I was advised to potentially make the "Panicked" section the point of highest tension, in accordance with the golden mean, and to that end, to conclude it with several chaotic, semi-improvisatory bars. Finally, it was also suggested that, considering the specificity of my program, that I include section titles to help convey it to the performers and audience.
