Framework

This piece is a reorchestration of an earlier orchestra piece of mine called "Tinge". Tinge's second movement is called "The Framework" and originally in a different key. Framework is the easiest movement from that piece and I deemed it would translate well for a middle school intermediate/advanced band or high school band. "Framework" is loosely structured like an overture, with its brief, slow middle section. Ambitious harmonies and intervals are prominent throughout, especially at transitions. These harmonies add character and uniqueness to the music.
