I admit that I've been a little bit lax on the podcasting as of late. However, I've been fairly busy as I'm in the process of moving to a new apartment and have begun work on yet another orchestral piece (not the one I mentioned in the last podcast.) This new piece has the working title of 'Triumph' though I'm sure the title will change before I'm finished.

The piece starts out with a repeating figure played by the harp. The violins then enter with the main theme followed by the cellos (also playing the main theme). Section by section, other instruments enter with harmonic accompaniment until the theme reaches its climax. Up until this point I'm fairly satisfied with what I've done. However the transitional measure leading to the 7/4 section are problematic for me as I'm still not sure what to due about the triplet figures played by the upper string parts. As for the 7/4 section, there are a few changes that I'm making that involve the structure of the accompanying parts that will allow me to take this section where I want it to go.
