This piece was primarily written for the Missouri State University Student Composer’s Competition for the Spring Composition Festival held in 2021.
At the time COVID-19 had made all performances virtual, and classes were majorly online. This period of uncertainty and perseverance helped inspire not only the instrumentation but the melodic features as a whole. Special Features of this work include divisi strings, a Violin Solo and Viola Solo, and complex ranges perfect for those reading music at a 4.0-4.5 Grade level. High School musical would find this work educational in terms of range and instrumentation, and college students would find this work’s difficulty average with more opportunity to focus on musical expression and technique.
