A New Beginning

This is my first composition in AP Music for the new year. The piece began with a simple melody I wrote in Finale. From there, the piece just continued to develop. An intro section comprised of strings leads to that simple melody line, now supported by harmony. An electric guitar and rock drum set mixed with strings and brass gives the composition a unique feel. The piece builds through a minor B Section before returning to the simple melody.

 It has been too long since my last composition (before Summer '09), so I entitled this piece "A New Beginning". I feel this concept can to apply to anyone and is shown through this composition. The piece builds to a climax, but in the end returns to that same beginning...
