__Musical Scenery__ media type="file" key="matheo_scenery.mp3"

When I was eleven, I remember the very last day I lived in Florida. I remeber that my old house was compleley empty except for the luggage, the blow up mattress and the sheets that were rumpled on the floor. It almost looked like an artists' blank canvas right before he/she was going to create a masterpiece. The smell was very familiar. It was my mom's cooking and febreeze. I remeber that right before we left, I went outside to jump in the pool one last time. I could feel that water swirling all around me as I took my last jump for a few months, and my nostrils were filled with the smell of chlorine. As we hopped into the car I jumped into the back seat and immediately rubbed the smell of chlorine into the suede of the car seat. I could smell it the whole way to Illinois. It reminded me of home.

__Symphony__

For my symphony, I plan to incorporate the old and new sounds of New York/ Big Cites. I want to focus on the glam and Broadway side of New York. I plan to adress this concept by putting a lot of jazzy loops such as a saxaphone, piano etc. I also found a really cool loop that is inspired by Broadway. I will be incorporating this in my piece. To adress modern New York, I will use very techno and pop beats. I have numerous songs that are about New York that I would like to incorporate as well.

__Second Symphony Movement__

For my second symphony, I wanted to show the more modern version of New York. I wanted to focus on the music and the sounds. The things you hear are more techno and poplike. Some of the bands I used are bands that originated in New York such as The Kills. I really like this one loop that I found that had a lot of interesting beats. It reminded me of the Brooklyn and Queens side. The ending was a song I found by The Kills called "What New York Used To Be".

__Third Symphony Movement__

For my third movement, I wanted to incorporate something I feel is a big part of New York. Broadway! I've been doing dance, theater and singing for most of my life. The songs I have put in are Wicked's Popular and Legally Blonde's Legally Blonde Reprise. I tried to make the transitions very smooth and quiet for some contrast. I really think that you will see the Broadway side of New York. It is fun and upbeat and lots of fun! Enjoy my composition!

__Fourth Symphony Movement__

For my fourth movement, I wanted to sum everything up in a nice clean way. New York to me is mostly about the people and the sights. There are a lot of amazing and influential people that live in New York. I also wanted to incorporate some songs in this last movemennt. I used It's Hard to Live in the City, a song that was used on the Gossip Girl soundtrack. I also used What New York Used to be, by the Kills. I love these songs because they show and illustrate the modern side of New York.
