After two years of off and on progress with months in between, I finally
had the motivation to finish my third wind band piece, Nuclear. When first
composing this piece, I imagined an apocalyptic scene, similar to that of
those video games set in some kind of wasteland (hence the name,
"Nuclear"). The piece is completely through-composed, and around
the 3:30 minute mark, I decided to shift the theme from
"armageddon" to "rebuilding and hope." Here, the piece
makes a sudden character change with a rather abrupt transition, which
actually just results from my lack of skill in writing... Either way, the
overall story that I am trying to tell, whether it be literal or
philosophical, is that life will eventually return to normal, as one takes
absorbed damage and attempts to heal. This is applicable especially today, as
the 2020 pandemic has torn apart lives from all cultures and backgrounds.
Someday, we will be celebrating the moment that we can all be together again.
Please, if you like wind band repertoire, consider giving this piece a listen
and find the story it can tell in your life. Thank you, and enjoy Nuclear.
