Symphony No. 1, 2010 (Grade 5, 20:00)

Symphony No. 1 was my creative outlet for a severe depressive state between ages 18-20. I have a wonderful mentor and life friend, Chris Koets. Mrs. Koets was one my middle school and high school band directors. After high school, I fell into an awful depressive state and Mrs. Koets helped me pick myself up and make sense of life through music. Symphony No. 1 is a reflection of personal struggle and growth. In the end, the piece fades out with similar music as it began…suggesting that all of the moments in our lives—the good and bad…are all important to who we currently are. This piece is dedicated to Chris Koets.

* A special note: there is a cello part with this symphony.

I. Patiently, Reflective

II. Hopeless

III. Peaceful
