On Thursday I began the sketch score for Time in Memoriam. Earlier in the week I completed the diagrammatic sketch which I am using as a guide for the music. I started with composing the first sound wall which comprises the first eight measures. Before I continued I revisited another wind ensemble sketch, Fate of the Future, which I began in 2001. I have already decided to take the opening melody from this sketch and use it as a primary theme in the second half of the A section. As I flipped through the score I came across a brass theme that was to start another, faster section of Fate of the Future. I played through it, as best as I can, on my keyboard. I think will be a great fit for the beginning of the B section for Time in Memoriam.
I began to work on the B section. Currently it is slated to be a seven-part rondo form. However, that could easily change as I continue to work on this section. I stopped after sketching the first twenty-four measures of the B section. In part because it was time to stop and do other things. Also, I wanted to think about how I want this section to develop. It is likely that the seven-part rondo form is not the right choice for this section. Making this change will not really affect the music I have sketched, but it will affect the music I will sketch.
