Hello everyone! I just finished the first draft of an orchestral composition that I started yesterday. I wrote the melody for the "A section (or minuet)" of this piece last year for piano. Yesterday, I saw it while scrolling through my drafts, I realized that it might be cool as a piece for orchestra. I finished the first draft today. So, let's get into the details of the piece.
Details and Piece
I thought of the title "Dance of the Siren" last year because it sounds like a sailing piece as well as a scherzo. Because of the title, I decided that it would be cool to structure it as a Minuet (d minor) and Trio (D Major) (and a recapitulation of the Minuet), so I did. I decided to think of the minuet as the Siren's celebratory dance, and the Trio as its luring Song. Anyway, here is the first draft of "Dance of the Siren."
Thanks for reading/listening to this! I should have a weekly7 out today as well. Please remember that feedback is always appreciated! Have a nice day!
