This is the second movement to my first symphony, the Wind Ensemble version of it. This is a draft, and not all the orchestrations and transitions are in order yet.

This symphony represents the painful but great parts of being myself; the "curses" I am dealt with but that yet I am grateful to be cursed with.

The music uses Native American Indian style pentatonic scale, Bartok style Octatonic scale, Whole tone chords, and some serialism. It also has a unique feature in that it has a total of 6 full sections: Strings (Not there in the Wind Ensemble version), Brass, Woodwinds, Pitched Percussion (3-4 players), Unpitched Percussion (3-4 players), and Organ. Each playing in their own independant family.
