Instrumentation: Orchestra (2.2.2.2 4.3.3.1 perc. strings) Duration: ~6 minutes Year of Composition: 2021 Program Note: Victory Overture was written in the summer of 2021 during a difficult time for the world and for me personally. After a burst of creativity at the start of 2020, I fell into a yearlong musical silence, unable to find the will or motivation to compose. The victory referenced in the title celebrates not only survival but also a season of growth and healing—overcoming the global pandemic, overcoming personal trauma, and rediscovering my musical imagination. |
