GL044 Slice of Life

This piece underscores a vignette of a typical morning routine. I imagine our main character wakes up, brushes his/her teeth, dresses, and bikes to work waving hello to everyone they know. They stop at the same shop and get the same bagel and coffee, and pet the same dog on the way out the door.

My oldest sister was an aspiring professional flautist. Every day from the age of 11 she would wake up early and start playing her flute at 5am so she could get a couple hours of practice in before school. As such, the sound of the flute always reminds me of the morning.

The harmonic progression on this one is kind of funky. Oddly enough, I'm pretty sure the entire thing is built out of major #11 chords (overt or implied).

GL040 Inventing Flight

I wrote this to work on my woodwind writing technique. I always feel like I under-use them when writing orchestral work.

For this piece, I imagined what it would be like discovering flight for the first time. This could be either the Wright Brothers designing and flying their first successful plane, or perhaps an animated character discovering they can ride a broom or hang on to the back of a dragon. The woodwinds are used to create swirls of wind and gusts as the horns and strings mimic the sense of gliding on top of the airy turbulence. I tried to capture a sense of thrill and joy while underlying some nervous energy and a light sense of unease.

GL033 Managing Mischief

Cheeky track for people pulling pranks or generally being sneaky and naughty. Left melodically sparse to leave room for plenty of whispering, shushing, and goose stepping.
