At first I was not really sure if I was going to have the time or ambition to compose. Since it was election day nothing I usually watch was going to be on TV so I planned on doing some composing. However, there are times in which those plans can easily change. Yesterday was almost a case in point. I was indifferent about composing. For fun I was messing around on my keyboard and I started to develop some melodic material. I went ahead and notated it. As it turned out this material ended up becoming what I had in mind for the opening of the second section of Time in Memoriam. I orchestrated it using upper woodwinds and glockenspiel. I still need to fill out some of the voices and add some counterpoint to the fifth through eighth measures of this section.
I also spent some time last night inputting the original harmonies and counterpoint to the melody I have taken from Fate of the Future. Right now I have approximately four minutes and forty-five seconds of music composed for Time in Memoriam. I am getting excited as this piece is starting to take shape. I still need to compose probably around two more minutes of music before I can connect the beginning to the B section I have already started to sketch.
