I have written another piece. It’s called “Flyin’ Through the States”. I’ve incorporated my feelings from each section of America - North, South, and West - into it. The north has a hustle to it that I was simply drawn to. Therefore, the North’s part is a fast pace moving melody. The West is the transition. It’s not quite as fast paced as the North, but it definitely has speed. At the same time, it is not very slow, but still holds that natural quality that the South does as well. Yet, not only is it a combination of both, it also has its own melody that none else can replicate. Therefore, the West’s section is in the style of a march trio. The South has a soft, natural air to it. It gave a sense of calm. So the South’s part of the piece is a slow moving song that calms you down instantly without putting you to sleep. The piece itself is an ensemble arrangement, made for symphonies.
I think, as a music composer and having been surrounded by music quite a lot, I have the ability to see music in everything I do and everywhere I go, and I believe I can safely say that America is indeed a symphony. It has different parts, different melodies, and different key elements. However, all of those differences come together is what makes the piece beautiful. They’re what makes the piece unique. I daresay, difference is welcomed - or at least it should be. Because America, the wonderful symphony, is a beautiful work of art. And I think by modifying it and making America your home, you are creating your own melody within the ever-changing symphony.
