Abstract | This dissertation consists of the first two movements of Symphony No. 1 for Wind Ensemble. I explain the program and form of the symphony in the introduction. Musical scores are the main body of the work. I use both programmatic and formal approaches to create this symphony. The program is about maintaining faith in the sovereignty of God in the midst of trials. The primary theme group of the first movement is based on the hymn, “Day by Day.” This hymn is about trusting that God has planned all our trials and will give us the strength to persevere through them. Elements of this hymn are developed in both movements of this dissertation. The formal designs are related to traditional forms. The first movement is in a modified sonata-allegro form which only provides a partial return of the primary theme group in the recapitulation. The second movement is related to theme and variations form and fugal procedure. The final movement, which will be completed at a later date, will be related to ritornello and rondo forms with a coda that is a second, more conclusive recapitulation of the primary theme group of the first movement. By moving the true recapitulation to the final movement, the overall form of the whole symphony becomes a large-scale sonata-allegro form. |
