Virus (Part I)

Symphony Orchestra

  • Piccolo, 2 Flutes, 2 Oboes (+ Cor Anglais), 2 Clarinets in A, 2 Bassoons
  • 4 Horns, 3 Trumpets, 3 Trombones, Tuba
  • Timpani + Roto-toms
  • 2 Percussion (tam-tam, rattle, triangle, bar chimes, splash cymbal, shaker, claves, guiro, bass drum, vibra-slap)
  • Harp
  • Celesta
  • Strings

Composed in 2008.

I plan to compose two other pieces to make this a larger symphonic composition.  Together the set will musically depict the life cycle of a virus.  I’ll post a more in depth description of this at a future stage.

I’ve decided to post this (not all that bad) MIDI rendition of this movement as a ‘work in progress’. It may change as work progresses on the other two movements.
