Symphonic Movement: On Works of H. P. Lovecraft is a single movement<br/><br/>composition for wind band lasting approximately 11 minutes. The instrumentation<br/><br/>for the work is as follows: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, English horn, 3 clarinets, bass<br/><br/>clarinet, contrabass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, soprano saxophone, alto<br/><br/>saxophone, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone, 4 horns, 4 trumpets, 2 trombones,<br/><br/>bass trombone, euphonium, tuba, string bass, timpani, 5 percussionists, and piano.<br/><br/>Symphonic Movement: On Works of H. P. Lovecraft is inspired by the horror<br/><br/>fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft. Lovecraft was famous for his ability to create a sense<br/><br/>of creeping dread and terror in his stories. The composition evokes this dark<br/><br/>atmosphere and uses a combination of melodic, harmonic, and orchestrational<br/><br/>devices to imitate this ambience.<br/><br/>The primary musical material of the work is a melody consisting of all twelve<br/><br/>tones. The composition explores this melody through motivic development and<br/><br/>phrase segmentation derived from the source material. This heavy use of<br/><br/>chromaticism helps to create a dissonant and brooding atmosphere throughout. The<br/><br/>work fluctuates between soft, lyrical passages and loud, cacophonous sections. The<br/><br/>alternation of exposed melodic lines with large bombastic climaxes is a major<br/><br/>component of the overall structure of the composition.
