Hello everyone! I was initially worried when Prof. P announced that the second round would be a string ensemble, but I'm pretty proud of what I have composed. It follows a peculiar melody with a LOT of secondary dominant chords, which is why I decided to "show my work" with the chord symbols. I've actually been publishing more than I expected, and I feel like I'll publish more often than I previously stated. However, no guarantees as of yet.
This piece follows a simple layout (a, a', b, b', a'', a'''), and I feel that it needs a simple layout given the complex harmonies. I wish Flat's violins and violas sounded better though. Hopefully one day I'll decide to put this in Bandlab and make the strings sound better (post-competition of course).
Good luck to all the other competitors, and as always, enjoy the piece!
