A piece which tells a story that goes from a begins, expands and develops, endures conflict, and reaches resolution. Happily ever after. The end.
[the following is copied and pasted from my main page] As a composer, I'm pretty much a composer on the side. When I have an idea, I write it down and go with it, but I don't focus all my musical energy into being a composer. I actually go through phases, or "seasons" as I would call if, of composing. I may compose very solidly for a few months on end and then not compose a thing for months on end. I am very much passionate about the compositions I do write. I also begin virtually every composition with pencil and staff paper, only transferring it onto an electronic medium (such as MakeMusic(tm)/Finale(tm)) as it becomes a finished product.

Story behind the song
This piece is, well, peaceful. It will be obvious enough. I wrote it at my own leisure, not as a class assignment or anything. It's actually the 2nd movement to another piece (called "Determination," which in itself is the latter section of a work which combined it with a D minor theme & variations piece), but it still sounds good by itself. A bit of a ways through, the piece changes from duple (4/4) meter to triple (3/4) meter, then builds up as the three separate voices develop both in their individual respects and as a cohesive whole simultaneously for four phrases, each phrase repeating before moving on to the next. Tonality barely hangs on as the top voice is entirely chromatic for a handful of truly hectic measures, to which everything perfectly resolves into the main theme in duple (4/4) meter again.
