Symphony No. 1 - A Work In Progress

Work continues on my Symphony No. 1; I'm a tad behind the schedule I wanted to keep, but I like the shape the music is taking. On Monday I completed sketches for the third movement, Marziale Ben Giusto, and I would really like to complete the fourth movement, Allegro Con Brio, by the end of the week.

The plan for the Marziale was to use the American military march form without variation:

         Intro |:A:||:B:|Trio Interlude Trio

but as I worked with the material I slightly modified it:

         Intro A A' B B' transistion Trio transition Trio Coda

So, the symphony is coming along nicely. Once the sketches are done, the work starts to move more quickly. The next step will be making a "short score" (two staves for the combined woodwinds, two for the brass, two for the strings, and two for percussion), which I hope to complete by the end of July, and then the final orchestration in "long score" (all the individual instruments).
