Symphonina No. 1

Winner of the 2022 Best Symphonina of the Year Award, this thrilling short-form symphony is guaranteed to be an audience pleaser. The bombastic first movement shows off the grandeur of the symphonic orchestra, and will get hearts pumping and ears engaged. The third movement sends you on a sprightly chase through major and minor modalities. The second movement serves as a perfect foil for the other two, giving the piece overall, a warmer, more tender emotional core. The symphonina, a genre developed by Dr. David Fogel in 2018, aims to act as a gateway of sorts to the wide world of symphonic music. These short-form symphonies provide the experience of a full-scale piece, but with entire works never totaling more than twelve minutes in length perfect for programming a multi-movement work without committing an entire concert to it.
