I presented some ideas for my concert band piece today. It wasn't much, hardly anything really, but a general chord progression that I had come up with and the types of harmonies that I plan on using and focusing on.

I was to create a very calm and beautiful atmosphere that over time starts to build and build tension and texture. I sort of came up with an idea for a melody just now, and it seems like the start of something!

I've also been listening to a lot of wind band music lately to really try and get a better idea of the balances, blends and sounds that are typical, and what I want to create.

That's it! Hopefully more soon
